33, Ethelbert Square, Westgate-on-sea, CT8 8SR

Guide price £725,000 to £750,000 A truly individual home with a fascinating history, this substantial four bedroom former private members club has been transformed into an impressive and characterful family residence offering around 2,635 sqft of accommodation.

Behind its handsome and distinctive façade lies a house of exceptional proportions, where generous rooms, original architectural details and a sympathetic contemporary finish combine to create something quite unlike the typical period home.

The ground floor is particularly impressive.

A welcoming entrance hallway leads through to a superb living room extending to around 30ft, with dark timber flooring, tall ceilings, bay window and an attractive period fireplace creating a wonderfully atmospheric space.

A separate sitting room provides a second reception area, while a shower room and boot room with side access add everyday practicality.

To the rear is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the house: An exceptional kitchen/ dining room measuring approximately 25ft x 23ft.

Designed as a genuine social and entertaining space, it features a large central island, extensive fitted cabinetry and plenty of room for a substantial dining table.

A dramatic roof lantern floods the room with natural light, while wide bi-folding doors open directly onto the rear garden and decking, giving the space an excellent connection with the outside.

A separate utility room sits conveniently alongside. Upstairs, the generous proportions continue with four well-sized bedrooms.

The two front bedrooms are particularly impressive, each featuring attractive bay windows, while the remaining bedrooms also offer comfortable double proportions.

There is a family bathroom serving this floor, with the additional ground floor shower room making the accommodation particularly practical for family life.

Throughout the house there is a wealth of character, including period fireplaces, high ceilings, deep skirting boards, original-style windows and some striking stained-glass detailing which provides a reminder of the building's unusual past.

These features sit comfortably alongside the more contemporary elements of the conversion, producing a home that feels both distinctive and highly usable.

Outside, the property has a traditional walled front garden setting, while to the rear there is a private enclosed garden with a substantial decked terrace immediately adjoining the kitchen/ dining room.

The garden has been arranged with low-maintenance planting and provides an ideal space for outside dining and entertaining.

There is also the considerable benefit of cellar space beneath part of the house, divided into two areas and providing useful storage.

Nb - there are four leasehold parking spaces opposite the property potentially available to purchase by separate negotiation. Ask the agent for details.

Formerly known as the Westgate Club and used as a private members club for much of the twentieth century, the building has since undergone an extensive transformation into a single residential dwelling.

The result is a genuinely memorable home which retains a strong sense of history while offering the scale, layout and finish expected of modern family living.

For buyers looking for something with space, individuality and architectural interest, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Westgate-on-Sea's most distinctive homes.

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.

Day to day is simple with primary schools and secondary options including Ursuline College, parks, tennis and supermarkets close by.
