House For Sale £1,295,000
Situated in one of Tankerton’s most sought after roads, this imposing house occupies a prestigious position on a hilltop at the site of the original St Annes Nunnery with distant views towards the sea. Tankerton Slopes and seafront are within short walking distance, as well as shops, cafés and amenities. Whitstable town centre is a pleasant stroll away, and the railway station is only half a mile distant.
The house is of traditional 1930’s brick construction with a sandstone base plinth beneath a tiled roof, with a red brick walled frontage to St Annes Road of 70ft (21m). The house is set well back from the road with a large mature front garden and a brick-built garage. Ample parking is provided for numerous vehicles on the double-width driveway.
Originally built as a four bedroom family home, a substantial extension was added in the 1980's to further enhance the living accommodation and provide a principal bedroom suite to the first floor. The beautifully presented and elegantly proportioned accommodation now provides a lobby, hall, drawing room with doors leading to a conservatory overlooking the gardens, a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, and a cloakroom. The first floor comprises four double bedrooms, two bathrooms (including an en-suite bathroom to the principal bedroom), and a fifth bedroom currently used as a study. There is considerable scope for further extension and remodeling (subject to obtaining all necessary consents and approvals).
Elements of the building’s wartime history remain in situ, with an original air raid shelter in the rear garden and a heavy blast-proof door still in place in a reinforced section of the garage.
The smartly landscaped South Easterly facing gardens extend to 103ft (31m) and incorporate a generous South facing hardwood decked area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertainment.
