Worcester Grove, Broadstairs, Kent

For anyone looking for privacy, security and flexibility this delightful, detached family home built in 2001 should tick all the boxes. It is located in a gated enclave of four individual properties yet is only a short walk to the station, schools, the town centre, a pub and the beach. The property includes a beautiful and unusual Edwardian summerhouse with its original sash windows and conical slate roof and turret as well as a large office/games room/gym above the double garage.

Driving through the electronic gates you will be delighted to see the attractive multi-pitched roof lines, diamond pane windows, two-tone brickwork and stained glass front door. Once inside you can begin to appreciate the spaciousness of the property with its solid oak flooring that flows through much of the ground floor. This feeling is enhanced as you walk through double glazed doors to the impressive drawing room with its log burning stove, French doors to both the terrace and hot tub and to the attractive conservatory as well as glazed double doors to the elegant dining room. The well-proportioned modern kitchen/breakfast room includes plenty of storage units as well as an inset range cooker and other appliances and doors to the double garage and utility room. The ground floor includes a shower room and a large sitting room.

Upstairs the wide, galleried landing leads to a family bathroom and five bedrooms including the large master with views across the St Peter's recreation ground and an en suite bathroom as well as a guest suite with a shower room. In addition to the fascinating summerhouse that is carpeted and has a 12ft ceiling, the garden includes a lawn, a terrace and a side gravel courtyard that is a private suntrap. At the front of the property there is a lawn and space for three cars in front of the double garage.

What the Owner says:

“I bought this house 16 years ago because it is a very safe environment for children and it is within walking distance of very good schools. We are also close to the St Peter’s recreation ground that includes the rugby and tennis clubs. It is not far to Joss Bay for swimming and surfing and for horsey enthusiasts there is a nearby riding centre, while golfing aficionados can join the well-respected North Foreland golf course”.
