Description
'Littlemount' is a substantial detached residence with an attached self contained annexe, perfectly positioned just yards from the seafront within the prestigious 'Avenues' of Westbrook.
Built in 1928 by local master builder, Henry Fuller, the property follows an elegant and classic design which retains a number of original features such as stained glass windows, original front door, panelled internal doors, plate racks and picture rails.
The large entrance hall provides a wonderful sense of grandeur with the attractive balustrade staircase providing a double height aspect and stained glass windows taking you back to a bygone era.
There are two principal reception rooms, both sit to the front of the house with a pleasant outlook. An open plan kitchen/diner sprawls across the rear and is perfect for both formal and casual entertaining. The kitchen itself is well equipped and features two large pantry cupboards. A very handy utility/cloakroom concludes the spacious ground floor.
The split level galleried landing presents four palatial size bedrooms decorated in soft neutral tones, two bathrooms and an additional WC. There is great potential to create an en-suite if desired. Other lovely features to note upstairs include original built in cabinetry in the bedrooms and landing as well as basins in two of the bedrooms; perfect for when you have guests staying.
Moving outside and the property enjoys a 91' (27.77m) rear garden which was redesigned by Catherine Froggatt, an RHS qualified garden designer who specialises in sustainable planting. The garden has a formal lawn and a huge Indian sandstone patio flanked by well stocked flower beds which also have an irrigation system. There are three olive trees, a specimen tree (London Plane) and fruit trees to help the garden feel softer and provide natural screening.
Attached to the house on the ground floor is the annexe which is accessed independently via French doors. The annexe provides a healthy income and has its own lounge, fitted kitchen, large bedroom, shower room and access to the rear garden from an inner hall. This versatile space may provide ideal for an elderly family member or adult child seeking independence.
A very impressive home kept in impeccable order which offers a rare opportunity in one of the best Avenues in Westbrook.
Location:
Westbrook Avenue is close to the Royal Esplanade and the blue flag beaches of St Mildreds & Westbrook Bay. It is midway between Westgate-on-Sea and the regenerating Margate town centre with its vibrant 'Old Town'.
Margate itself offers a range of amenities, which are complemented by those found at Westwood Cross. The area provides a selection of well-regarded schools in both state and private sectors. Further leisure, cultural and educational facilities can be found in both the cathedral city of Canterbury and the harbour town of Ramsgate.
Situated under half a mile from the centre of Westgate on Sea, once coined as 'Mayfair by the sea' when aristocratic Londoners visited during summer. Westgate is a highly regarded coastal town, predominately of period architecture with its Victorian canopied shops offering a range of independent boutiques, mainstream supermarket cafe's, restaurants and bars. Westgate is also home to a magnificent 18-hole golf club, the grade II listed Carlton Cinema and a selection of both primary and secondary schools.
Westgate train station is close by and provides a frequent service for commuters straight through to London Victoria. Margate mainline station is 1.5 miles distant and provides direct links to London Victoria as well as the high speed Javelin service to London St. Pancras.
The A299 is approximately 4.5 miles away providing excellent road links to London via the M2 at Brenley Corner.
