George Hill Road, Broadstairs, Kent, CT10

West Lodge, found on the corner of Whiteness Green is steeped in history. The property dates back to 1860-1863 when it was built as a lodge to serve White Ness, later called Whiteness Manor, which was demolished in the 1960's but the Lodge remains standing! The Lodge has been extended and modernised throughout its 260 year history, however many of the Lodge's original features remain adding to its charm.

The property has walled perimeters and benefits from an in and out driveway accessed both from George Hill Road and Whiteness Green, as well as a tandem covered garage. This unique property has been owned by the current vendors for over 20 years and they have added their own stamp on the property whilst retaining original features creating a versatile family home. There is definitely more than meets the eye with this home.

This incredibly spacious chalet bungalow benefits from an open plan lounge/dining room with bi folding doors opening up onto the paved terrace, a modern fitted kitchen and family bathroom both with underfloor heating and a master bedroom all to the ground floor. To the rear of the property there is a staircase leading up to a double bedroom/study with ensuite bathroom, ideal for anyone looking to work from home or as a guest bedroom.

Heading to the side of the property through the kitchen there is a further wooden staircase leading both down to the basement reception room, currently used as a cinema room and laundry room and up to a further room used as a bedroom with another ensuite bathroom.

Externally to the rear there are sunny aspect walled private gardens with pedestrian gate out to George Hill Road with a variety of trees and flowers and a beautiful pond with glass viewing windows, as well as a summerhouse and greenhouse.
