Hengist Road, Westgate-On-Sea, Kent CT8

Stunning period home with no forward chain
A truly exceptional period residence, meticulously restored and beautifully presented throughout, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home of outstanding character, quality, and setting. In our opinion, properties of this calibre where original features are so carefully preserved and seamlessly blended with modern enhancements are seldom available.

Occupying a prime corner plot, this remarkable home enjoys a unique and enviable position directly adjoining Westgate golf course, with far reaching sea views and breathtaking sunsets. Surrounded by mature pine trees and enclosed by a charming walled boundary, the setting offers both privacy and natural beauty.

Externally, the property has been comprehensively upgraded, including a new roof, full repointing, double-glazed sash windows, and refurbished stained glass, all while retaining its original charm. The grounds provide ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, a substantial detached garage with mezzanine storage, and an impressive summer house complete with bar, reception area, sauna, and shower ideal for entertaining or relaxation.

Arranged over four floors, the accommodation is both versatile and spacious. The ground floor features a stunning open plan kitchen/dining area with high ceilings and integrated appliances, a generous dual aspect sitting room with hardwood flooring, and an additional reception room currently used as a gym. A large utility room doubles as a secondary kitchen and opens into a further reception space, leading to a superb all weather outdoor kitchen with a built-in braai and direct garden access. A downstairs WC and cellar housing the home’s plumbing, including a water softening system, and providing excellent storage complete this level.

The first floor offers a spacious landing with a relaxed seating area, leading to an impressive principal bedroom with a private balcony, wall mounted heater, and westerly aspect overlooking the golf course - perfect for enjoying evening sunsets. The adjacent family bathroom features underfloor heating, marble-topped his and hers sinks, and a bath positioned beneath the skylights for stargazing. A further generous double bedroom benefits from a large ensuite (also with underfloor heating), while an additional double bedroom is currently configured as a dressing room.

The second floor comprises two further double bedrooms, both enjoying elevated golf course views, along with a well-appointed shower room.

The landscaped garden is a particular highlight, featuring a resin patio, expansive lawn, and raised borders filled with an array of mature shrubs, creating a tranquil and picturesque outdoor space.

Homes of this standard, combining period elegance with modern luxury in such a unique setting, are exceptionally rare. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this outstanding property has to offer.
