About
GUIDE PRICE £325,000 to £350,000 - Offered for sale with no forward chain and set back behind a walled frontage with a gated entrance, this semi-detached bungalow on Elm Grove offers a great deal more than first impressions may suggest.
With a generous footprint, a detached garage, attractive gardens and manageable outside space, it is a home with real potential in a well-established Westgate-on-Sea location.
The accommodation is arranged across one level and extends to approximately 801 sq ft, with the garage adding a further 166 sq ft.
The layout is practical and easy to live with, with a central entrance hall leading into the main rooms and giving the property a comfortable sense of flow.
The reception room is a particularly generous space, measuring approximately 15'6 x 13'6 at its maximum points, with a large window allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
It is a proper main living space with enough room for larger furniture, while still feeling separate from the kitchen and bedrooms.
The kitchen is also a good size, measuring approximately 13'3 x 10'11 at its maximum points, with space for a dining table and a range of fitted units.
It has a bright, practical feel and provides direct access to the outside, making it well suited to day-to-day use as well as opening out towards the garden and garage area. There are two bedrooms.
The main bedroom is a spacious double with a wide window and plenty of room for wardrobes or additional furniture.
The second bedroom is also a comfortable size and would work well as a guest room, hobby room or study depending on a buyer’s needs. The shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
The property would now benefit from some cosmetic updating in places, but the space, layout and setting provide an excellent base for a buyer to improve and personalise over time.
Outside, the property enjoys a surprisingly private garden arrangement with a mix of paved seating areas, established planting, lawn and mature boundaries.
There is useful space to sit out, garden or simply enjoy the sunshine, with the detached garage and driveway adding further practicality.
The detached garage sits to the side of the property and measures approximately 14' x 11'11, with double doors to the front.
This gives useful storage or parking space and may also appeal to buyers looking for workshop space or potential future flexibility, subject of course to any necessary consents.
Overall, this is a well-proportioned semi-detached bungalow with a lovely plot, garage, gardens and scope to improve, making it an appealing opportunity for buyers looking for single-storey living in Westgate-on-Sea.
Westgate-on-Sea blends classic Victorian charm with easy coastal living.
Two sandy bays - St Mildred’s and West Bay - give family-friendly swimming, rock pools and sunset promenades, with beach huts and a clifftop path linking towards Margate and Minnis Bay.
The high street keeps things local with independents, cafés and the characterful Carlton Cinema, while Westgate & Birchington Golf Club sits along the coast.
Day to day is simple with primary schools and secondary options including Ursuline College, parks, tennis and supermarkets close by.
Westgate-on-Sea station runs services to London Victoria via Faversham with straightforward HS1 connections at Margate, Ramsgate or Ashford for St Pancras, and road links via the A28 and A299 make Canterbury and the M2 easy.
It suits buyers who want a friendly seaside town feel with practical connections.
