About
This Is Much Bigger Than It Looks From The Outside!
Guide price £275,000 to £300,000 - Set just moments from the seafront, this unusually spacious mews style home on Beach Road offers approximately 1,193 sqft of accommodation arranged over three floors, giving the home a very different feel from a typical one-bedroom property.
The property forms part of a small row of distinctive homes on Beach Road with the sea visible at the end of the road.
It is a location that works well for anyone wanting to be close to the coast, while still being within easy reach of Westgate’s shops, cafés, cinema, railway station and sandy beaches.
The main entrance opens into a generous ground floor living room, measuring over 26ft into the bay.
This is a bright, comfortable space with plenty of room for larger furniture, making it a natural place to relax or entertain.
Also on this level is a useful utility room/WC, adding everyday practicality. On the lower ground floor, the kitchen/dining room provides another impressive space.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances and a central island, with the room opening out into a dining area beyond.
At around 23ft in length, this is a sociable area that gives the home a very different feel from a typical home in the area.
The first floor continues the sense of space, with a particularly large bedroom measuring over 15ft and benefitting from extensive built-in wardrobes.
The bathroom is also a generous size, fitted with both a bath and separate shower enclosure. This is a property that will appeal to buyers looking for space, individuality and a coastal setting.
Whether used as a permanent home, weekend retreat or lock-up-and-leave by the sea, it offers a rare amount of accommodation in a highly convenient position close to Westgate’s seafront.
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.
