Kingsgate Avenue, Broadstairs, Kent

Unlike most houses bordering the prestigious Kingsgate Avenue, this particularly fine residence is completely hidden behind the hedge of a very large front garden. Approached down a long drive and nestled in the midst of 0.7351 of an acre of flat lawns, with significant potential for the development of additional properties.

The house was built in 1957 and includes original features such as herringbone parquet flooring, wide coved ceilings, picture rails, fireplaces and oak doors. It has the potential to incorporate an annexe and additional accommodation in the large boarded attic.

The impressive entrance opens into a spacious entrance hall with access to the main reception rooms, a cloakroom with laundry facilities and the original staircase. There is the large dual aspect dining room with a wide bay window, a stone surround fireplace and an open fire and a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room incorporating flat fronted units with Corian worktops housing built in and stand-alone appliances.

On the other side of the hall the elegant dual aspect sitting room features a stone fireplace and a bay window as well as a door to a small office. This has access to a large utility room, a work room and a lobby with a cloakroom, access to the garden and a door to the hall. It would be possible to create a totally separate annexe with its own independent entrance in this area of the house.

A large galleried landing includes a cloakroom as well as access to the completely boarded attic that would make an excellent games room or converted into additional accommodation. The first floor includes a family bathroom and six bedrooms. There is a dual aspect single with door access to a dual aspect double with fitted cupboards and three further bedrooms including one with a wide bay window with sea glimpses, fitted cupboards and an ensuite Jack and Jill shower.

Outside the lovely flat lawns are interspersed with mature trees and shrubs as well as a summerhouse, a garden shed and the garage with an electric door and 15 solar panels.

What the Owner says:

This has been our wonderful home for the past 25 years but we feel it is now time to downsize and let another family realise its potential. We have always loved the peace and tranquility this property has provided and the fact we can walk to the clifftops, the Blue Flag Botany Bay or the Botany Bay hotel in about 10 minutes.
A regular bus service travels around Thanet on the Loop and there is a useful convenience store nearby.
