North Foreland Avenue, Broadstairs

If you are looking for a large detached coastal home, close to some of the best beaches in Kent, then this beautifully presented turn of the century home situated on the exclusive gated North Foreland Private Estate could be for you. The property sits on a pristine landscaped plot of around 0.9 acres (tbv) with gates opening to an extensive driveway.

This handsome three storey home is one of the original properties on the private estate and benefits from breath-taking views over the English Channel from the upper floors. The accommodation has been sympathetically modernised and extended by the current owners to create a character filled home with a fantastic sense of space owing to the tall ceilings and numerous large windows including four bay windows looking out towards the sea.

The gardens are a standout feature of this property and are the ideal size for entertaining. There is a multi-use sports court, suitable for tennis and basketball, a leisure building incorporating a heated indoor swimming pool with two separate gym areas, a further two storey outbuilding that could be used as a games room and perhaps work from home space as well as an oversized double garage. We expect a lot of interest in this extraordinary home and urge interested parties to view early to avoid disappointment.

Albert Lodge is situated on the North Foreland private estate, around 1 mile from the centre of this charming seaside resort. The spectacular coastline boasts seven sandy beaches, clifftop walks and quaint fisherman's cottages.

The town boasts many independent shops, smart restaurants and quaint cafes. At weekends you could spend your time walking or cycling the 32-mile Viking Coast Trail or perhaps taking the family for a surfing or sailing lesson. Golfers can play at the North Foreland Golf Club just 6 minutes (1.6 miles) away by car or the renowned championship Royal St Georges in nearby Sandwich around half an hour away (11.8 miles).

There is a good range of schooling in the area, including Dane Court Grammar School, Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School and independent schools such as Wellesley House and Haddon Dene Preparatory Schools. London commuters can be whisked back into the capital on high-speed trains from 1 hour 18 minutes via Broadstairs station which is a 5-minute drive from the property.
