A substantial and creatively extended four-bedroom detached residence, offering almost 2,200 sq. Ft. Of versatile accommodation together with an impressive rear garden extending to approximately 120 ft. Significantly enhanced by the current owners, this spacious 1930s home combines generous living areas with modern upgrades and an excellent location within easy reach of Walmer Beach, Walmer Castle and Deal.

Set back from the road with a driveway providing gated off-road parking, the property has undergone considerable improvement in recent years. Upgrades include a recently installed roof, double-glazed windows, a new gas central heating system and a full electrical rewire. Oak internal doors and an oak staircase complement the neutral décor, while a wood-burning stove, fully integrated Wren kitchen and contemporary shower room add to the home's appeal.

Inside:

The front door opens into a useful lobby with storage before continuing into the central entrance hall. To the front is a bay-windowed sitting room featuring an attractive ornate cast-iron fireplace. With extensive living accommodation elsewhere in the house, this room also provides flexibility to be used as an additional bedroom, home office or reception room if required.

At the rear, the property opens into an impressive open-plan living and dining space, forming the heart of the home. The extended dining area benefits from two sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden and flows into a relaxed seating area centred around a wood-burning stove.

The adjoining kitchen has been fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units by Wren Kitchens, finished with marble-effect work surfaces extending to form a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a full-height fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher, double oven and gas hob.

A generous double bedroom and well-appointed shower room complete the ground-floor accommodation, providing excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or those seeking predominantly single-level accommodation.

Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, each with access to a loft space for storage. The front bedroom benefits from fitted Sharps wardrobes and an en-suite cloakroom with WC and wash basin. There is also potential to reconfigure the existing arrangement to create a larger Jack and Jill bathroom serving both bedrooms, subject to the necessary works and consents.

Outside:

One of the property's standout features is its substantial rear garden, extending to over 120 ft. Thoughtfully landscaped with established shrubs, young trees and several areas for outdoor seating, it provides an excellent setting for entertaining, gardening and family life. A patio immediately behind the house leads onto the main garden, with a summer house and vegetable-growing area positioned towards the far end.

The property also benefits from a detached garage, currently arranged to provide storage together with a small kitchenette. This building offers exciting potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe, studio or home-working space, subject to the necessary planning consent (stpc).
