Western Esplanade, Broadstairs, Kent

Approached through a pair of gates leading to a garage and a vast block paved driveway, this detached four bedroom property is offered chain free and provides a rare opportunity to secure a prime cliff front residence with uninterrupted sea views. While the house would make a spectacular holiday home, its generous proportions, multi level layout and year round outlook make it supremely suited to permanent coastal living. Steps rise to a raised terrace and the contemporary front door, opening into a lobby and hall with a bespoke oak staircase, understairs storage and access to the ground floor accommodation.

The sitting room features bi fold doors to the front terrace, low fitted cabinetry and a stone fireplace with a log burner, creating a warm focal point for everyday life. Double doors lead to the dining room, which flows into the vaulted dual aspect sun room with its dramatic wall of oversized patio doors opening onto the rear terrace. A wide archway connects to the kitchen, fitted with cream shaker style units, stone effect worktops, integrated appliances and a moveable butcher’s block island, while the adjacent utility room provides further fitted units, laundry space and external access.

Halfway up the staircase is a study or additional double bedroom with full height windows framing superb sea views, accompanied by a fitted cupboard and cloakroom. The first floor galleried landing includes an airing cupboard, a family bathroom and three double bedrooms. Two have fitted storage and garden views, while the principal bedroom features full height windows, a glazed door to the decked front balcony and an ensuite shower room. Stairs rise to a dressing room with extensive hanging space, shelving, understairs storage and sea views, along with access to two large loft rooms.

The rear terrace is enclosed by a brick wall and shrub borders, with steps leading to a wide lawn interspersed with mature planting, complemented by external lighting, a summerhouse, a garden shed and vehicular access from the driveway.
