About
Elegant edwardian detached house with stunning views towards Whitstable Bay.
Set back along the sought-after Borstal Hill, as you approach Whitstable, this striking Edwardian detached residence offers a rare blend of period charm, versatile living space and far-reaching coastal views.
Stepping inside, the property reveals a wonderfully balanced layout.
To the left of the welcoming hallway, the elegant dining room provides the perfect setting for hosting dinners and special occasions, capturing the timeless character of the home.
This space flows seamlessly through to the inviting lounge and further into a cosy sitting area, where patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an ideal environment for both relaxation and entertaining.
The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is designed for everyday living and enjoys delightful views over the garden.
A practical utility area, w/c and storage area provides additional space seldom found in modern homes.
Outside, the rear garden is a true oasis, beautifully stocked with mature planting and abundant wildlife.
A covered seating area provides a tranquil retreat, complete with a charming glimpse of the sea through a thoughtfully positioned window.
An elevated patio captures the evening sunshine, making it the perfect place to unwind, while additional storage including a discreet bin area, enhances the practicality of the outdoor space.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobe storage, along with two bathrooms catering comfortably for family living.
The second floor reveals a particularly impressive principal bedroom, boasting generous proportions and a large crawl space for extensive storage.
From this elevated vantage point, the room enjoys spectacular panoramic views across Whitstable and the bay beyond, which can also be savoured from the superb rear balcony, a stand out feature of this exceptional home.
To the front, a spacious driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, while the integral single garage offers further storage or potential for additional use.
