Detached House for sale with 5 bedrooms, Kingsgate Avenue, Broadstairs

With its black and cream exterior, fascinating herringbone brickwork, Tudor style wood garage door and charming pitched room outer porch, this delightful detached family home provides instant kerb appeal before you even cross the threshold. Located along a quiet, private road leading to the seafront, where only the residents are allowed to park, it is approached via a block paved driveway with steps up to the attractive wood front door and stained glass side panels. Once inside, the charcoal grey and white edged marble floor tiles create an impressive entrance hall. Although the property was actually built in 2000 it has some delightful period style features that give it such a special character. These include ceiling light roses and coved ceilings as well as a Victorian type staircase. At the same time the current owners have modernised much of the property to give it a contemporary feel.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the elegant lounge with its extremely high quality remote control flame effect gas fire, marble hearth and marble mantle beam as well as solid wood flooring and a large bay window. The wood flooring flows through the glazed double doors into the attractive dining room and this, in turn, has double doors to the conservatory. So, when all the doors are open, it provides a great feeling of space and light and makes the whole area ideal for entertaining.

The large kitchen is charming with its aqua blue painted units and granite worktops, a matching Welsh dresser, multi-coloured stone floor tiles, beamed ceiling and feature brick wall. There is a range cooker inset into the chimney breast and an American fridge freezer as well as an integrated fridge and dishwasher. You will also find a downstairs cloakroom and the garage. This is carpeted and currently in use as a fitted utility room/office and playroom.

On the first floor there is a large galleried landing with a double airing/storage cupboard with a built in safe as well as a stunning family bathroom that includes an oval bath inset into a raised mosaic tiled surround and a wet room style shower. Five double bedrooms are available including one with built in wardrobes and the first bedroom with built in cupboards and a ‘secret’ cupboard access to the trendy en-suite shower room.

Double doors open from the conservatory onto the wide block paved rear terrace that wraps around the property providing access on both sides, meeting up with the driveway at the front. A fascinating water feature at the rear of the property includes a 25 year old ghost carp as well as other fish while steps up from the terrace and the retaining wall incorporating shrub beds, lead to a large lawn. Here you will find additional patio areas as well as a decked terrace so that you can enjoy the sun all day long while the high hedges provide complete privacy as you are not overlooked. There is also a garden shed and a summer house that has lighting, electrics and water so could always be used as an office/games room and includes a second entrance to a separate area currently being used for storage. At the front of the property the driveway provides off road parking for approximately 5 cars and is flanked by a lawn with a charming fishpond.
