Western Esplanade, Broadstairs, Kent

Originally built in 1928 this delightful 7 bedroom family home sits on a generous plot of 0.3472 of an acre and has been considerably extended over the years providing plenty of flexible accommodation and stunning uninterrupted sea views. It is partially hidden from view by a wall and high hedging with a spacious front garden incorporating a large lawn, attractive shrub beds and patio areas. A curved herringbone block paved driveway provides off road parking and leads to an open ended garage and the entrance with a large porch.

There is a spacious entrance hallway with storage facilities, a cloakroom and access to a sun lounge known as ‘the viewing room’ as it features almost a wall of windows and a glazed door to a side decked terrace, providing panoramic sea views. French doors open into the sitting room with a large bay window, a marble surround fireplace and French doors to the dual aspect dining area which, in turn, has access to the rear garden.

What the Owner says:

What the owner says: We moved here some 30 years ago as the location and the accommodation provided us with everything we wanted and where we were able to run a successful Montessori school for 20 years. Since then we have enjoyed refurbishing the house as a large family home. We love the peace and quiet in our tranquil garden and enjoy sitting in our ‘viewing room’ just watching the ever-changing sea views.
We can walk along the clifftop and down to the beaches or stroll into the town centre in a few minutes. Broadstairs includes excellent primary and secondary schools, independent shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants, hair and beauty salons, a cinema, a theatre and a train station where the high speed train can take you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half. There are also numerous sports facilities including the North Foreland Golf club.
