House For Sale £600,000
This unusual cedar-clad seafront property was designed by well-known London and Kent based architect Guy Holloway. His vision was to create nine upmarket and trendy houses based on a ‘beach hut' theme, in keeping with their proximity to the sandy beach at the wonderful Westbrook Bay and it is that aspect that makes them so special. Whether you are looking for a permanent home or a delightful weekend ‘getaway, ' this house could be just the place. It is part of a gated community so is very secure and includes underground parking facilities. Walking into the house your eyes are immediately drawn to the wall of bi-folding doors at the end of the kitchen/dining/living room that open onto a glass fronted decked terrace with views of the sea beyond. The whole house has Amtico tiled floors with underfloor heating and just inside the front door there is a good sized double bedroom with a fitted cupboard and opposite is a contemporary tiled bathroom and a useful storage cupboard. The living space incorporates an extremely smart kitchen with flat fronted glossy white units housing a built in oven, combi microwave and induction hob as well as an integrated fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher while still leaving plenty of room for a table and chairs and a good sized seating area.
However, whenever possible, it is likely that you will be lounging on comfortable chairs on the terrace or sitting up at the outdoor breakfast bar enjoying a morning coffee, watching the ever changing view of the sea and the antics of people and dogs on the beach. You can revel in even more panoramic views from the magnificent first bedroom on the first floor. This is accessed via a charming circular staircase and includes a high, vaulted ceiling, full height windows and French doors to a decked balcony as well as a modern, triple sized en-suite shower room.
Management charges cover buildings insurance, water rates and not only are the communal areas maintained but also all the external windows are washed.
Please refer to the footnote regarding the services and appliances.
What the Owner says:
“We both love the house and have been extremely happy here. However we are emigrating to New Zealand to be nearer to family. So hope another owner will love it as much as we have. The area is extremely quiet and peaceful as there is no traffic allowed on the promenade in front of the house but, at the same time, it is only a matter of seconds to get to the beach at Westbrook Bay with its beach huts, cafe, toilets and lifeguards as well as the Strokes 18 hole adventure golf course. As it is only a five minute walk to the station it is also ideal for commuters and there is a nearby parade of shops for daily essentials as well as hair and beauty salons and a bowls club and tennis courts for sporting activities.
It is also only a few minutes to Margate Main sands, Dreamland Amusement Park and the Turner Contemporary art gallery, while the fascinating Margate Old Town offers interesting bars and restaurants and quirky individual shops. There are also hotels, theatres and a casino in the town while for sporting enthusiasts there is a well-supported football club, a cricket club and a popular tennis club. A little further afield is the Westwood Cross Shopping Centre and leisure complex with its high street stores, restaurants, Vue cinema and casino.
The main road offers easy access to the Thanet Way for London and Canterbury and at least one local primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while excellent secondary education is available in nearby Broadstairs, Westgate and Rams
