Spacious six bedroom detached home only yards from the seafront!

Miles & Barr are extremely pleased to be offering this historic house located only yards from St Mildred’s Bay, Westgate. Believed to have been built in 1870 by John Greavson, Bertha Cottage (formerly Beach Lodge but recently reverted back to the original name on the founding stone) is thought to be one of the earliest properties to be built in Westgate. Old Boundary Road is named as such due to it marking the original eastern boundary of Westgate-on-sea. This charming home currently requires full refurbishment having remained within the same family for many decades and being recently stripped out in readiness for development.

The property itself offers spacious and versatile living accommodation arranged over three floors and is currently set up to boast six bedrooms, four reception rooms and a bathroom. Externally there is a westerly facing sunny aspect rear garden with full access around the property.

In our opinion this property would make the perfect project for any growing family or for those wishing to restore something to its former period glory! The house is perfectly situated not only with the beach at the end of the road and tennis courts almost opposite, but also sits within walking distance of Westgate’s Victorian canopied shopping parade, main line train station and popular local schools. Cliff top walks into Margate are also on your doorstep with access to good bus and road links both in and out of Thanet too. An early internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that is on offer.

N.B. The property also has planning permission granted for change of use from single dwelling to 2No 2 bed semi-detached dwellings together with the erection of a 3 storey rear extension and the insertion of 2 dormers windows to the rear - planning ref: F/th/21/0753

Location

Westgate is regarded by some as a well-kept secret amongst the towns and villages along the north coast of Kent. This picturesque village with its canopied shops is a perfect base for city commuting, retail therapy in Canterbury and Westwood Cross or just enjoying the blue flag beaches or our local sea front pub.
Once known as Mayfair-by-the-sea when wealthy Londoners visited for the summer, it still boasts many grand and historic buildings such as our magnificent listed Carlton Cinema and stunning balcony apartments overlooking garden squares.
Westgate-On-Sea is just minutes from the A299 with a journey of approximately 75 minutes to the O2 Arena and Greenwich. Of course if you’d like a stress-free journey, then just take the train from Westgate straight through to London Victoria. Travel in the other direction and just two stops along you’ll be able to enjoy the seaside towns of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate.
There are a number of schools in the Westgate area ranging from nursery through to Secondary education, not forgetting the doctor’s surgery.
