Foreland Heights, Broadstairs, Kent

Whether you are looking for a permanent family home or a superb weekend and holiday retreat this beautifully maintained and upgraded five bedroom property could tick all the right boxes. It was originally built 22 years ago when the owners first bought it but they have extended it and installed new bathrooms, a contemporary kitchen, added triple glazing throughout and a large conservatory, so you can walk straight into the property and do not need to do anything but decide where to put your furniture. Sweeping up to the end of a cul-de-sac the property stands proud in front of you. It has impressive kerb appeal with its very tall chimneys, varied roof lines, a cream exterior and a brick pillar at the entrance porch, so really stands out from its neighbours. There is a large double garage and off road parking for two cars with additional parking available in front of the property. Charming flower and shrub beds welcome you to the front door and, once over the threshold, you will be delighted to see the vast reception hall with oak flooring where you could happily host a cocktail party. There are double doors to the elegant lounge with a fireplace that currently includes an electric fire hiding the usable log burner and French doors to the very spacious conservatory where the family are likely to spend much of their time. It has underfloor heating and a reflecting glass roof keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer, so can be used all year round. The modern double aspect kitchen/breakfast room, with a glass door to the terrace, has a lovely range cooker, a wide range of units including pull out larder cupboards and automatic access corner cupboards as well as an integrated fridge, additional stand-alone appliances and a peninsular breakfast bar. There is a large fitted adjacent utility room that also has access to the terrace. Off the hall is a cloakroom and an understairs wine cupboard as well as a good sized study. Leading from the landing is an excellent family double shower room designed by A.J. Ball and five good sized bedrooms including four doubles and a large single. The extremely low maintenance rear garden is completely enclosed by a high brick wall with a terrace, patio and summerhouse.

What the Owner says:

It has been a wonderful family home for the past 22 years but we feel it is now time to downsize, although we want to stay in Broadstairs as we love the area. Being in a cul de sac it is very quiet and peaceful and we have delightful neighbours who create a friendly community. It is only a short stroll to the seafront and we can be in the centre of Broadstairs in three minutes so enjoy all the restaurants, pubs and shops as well as the beaches and promenade. While the high speed train from Broadstairs station can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half.
The house is not far from the renowned North Foreland golf course for golfing aficionados while nearby Joss Bay and Stone Bay are ideal for families who want to enjoy sandy beaches, swimming and surfing in the summer and for horse mad youngsters the Elmwood Riding School is just up the road. Broadstairs is a quintessential Victorian seaside resort with annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. Another advantage of Broadstairs is that it includes some very good schools including Upton and Dane Court rated Outstanding by Ofsted as well as an excellent private prep school.
