Description
Internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate this substantial detached property situated in the sought-after Joy Lane area. Believed to have been built in the late 1950s by Child Brothers, a reputable local builder of the time, the property also benefits from a recently constructed detached brick-built one-bedroom annexe. Standing on a generous plot, this attractive and versatile home has been thoughtfully extended to retain the charm and character of its era while meeting the demands of modern-day living and offers approximately 2400 sq feet of accommodation plus a 411 sq feet annex.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall which sets the tone for the light and airy feel throughout with high ceilings and large windows enhancing the sense of space.
The hub of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, an ideal space for family life and entertaining alike, with seamless access to the beautiful southerly-facing rear garden. The ground floor also offers a bathroom, utility room, large sitting room with access to the rear garden and a separate lounge both benefitting from attractive fireplaces with open hearths.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The large principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower. From the front of the first floor there are also sea views.
The beautifully maintained landscaped gardens provide ample space for the whole family and feature an extensive patio area and well-stocked borders.
The property is conveniently situated within easy walking distance of The Rose in Bloom public house/restaurant and a local shop with Post Office. Bus services provide convenient access to the harbour town centre of Whitstable (approximately 0.9 miles) and the cathedral city of Canterbury (approximately 6.4 miles). Attractive coastal walks are also close at hand and Whitstable mainline railway station is just over a mile away.
