St. Mary's Grove, Seasalter, Whitstable, Kent

This delightful detached seaside property on the prestigious Granville Cliff private estate is just 300 feet from Seasalter beach and has been designed to offer a variety of options. It would make a charming permanent family or holiday home or, because it has four ensuite double bedrooms, it could also be an excellent bed and breakfast or part holiday let for anyone looking to generate an income.

The property is approached along a private road and has off road parking for several vehicles. A covered walkway leads to the contemporary front door that opens into a panelled entrance hall with a cloakroom and understairs cupboard. On the ground floor there is a double bedroom at the front of the property with an ensuite shower that could always be used as a study/snug. However it is adjacent to a second double bedroom with an ensuite shower and a fitted cupboard so these two rooms could always be partially blocked off to become a separate annexe for family members or as a seaside holiday let/bed and breakfast bedrooms.

There is an open plan living space that includes a good sized dining area and a very spacious lounge with a modern log burner and four bi-fold doors to the raised decked terrace and a kitchen. This has been cleverly designed with a half-height wall concealing the sink and low units while still allowing those in the kitchen to be involved with family and friends in the rest of the room. It includes flat fronted units with granite worktops housing various appliances with additional appliances in the adjacent utility room.

Upstairs there is a large galleried landing, a small bedroom that makes an excellent dressing room and two double bedrooms with partially vaulted ceilings. One has French doors to a Juliette balcony and an ensuite shower and the spacious dual aspect main bedroom includes Velux windows, fitted cupboards and a luxurious ensuite bathroom.

The easy to manage south facing rear garden features the decked terrace while the lower garden includes an artificial grass lawn and a pathway bordered by shrubs leading to a garden shed.
