Encombe, Sandgate, CT20

DESCRIPTION
Sea Lodge is a unique detached single storey dwelling which boasts a privileged position from where it commands a magnificent southerly panorama with extensive views of the sea and to the coast of France on a clear day. The property now requires extensive updating and refurbishment but given its particularly special location, the fact that it offers very comfortably proportioned accommodation and as such offers the potential to create an exceptional home, it is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.

The accommodation includes an entrance hall which leads to the dining room, this opens onto a generous sitting room which enjoys beautiful sea views and opens to the garden. There is a large separate kitchen, three double bedrooms (two offering views of the sea), a bathroom and a cloakroom.

There is a densely planted garden to the front, parking on the driveway which also accesses the detached garage. To the rear there is a level terrace, the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the views with the remainder of the garden sloping downwards away from the property.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
