This impressive, detached family home was built in the 1930s and sits in 0.287 of an acre of delightful gardens and includes a detached two-bedroom annexe. It would be an ideal home for owners who want additional space for elderly relatives or adult children. Alternatively, the annexe would make an excellent suite of offices for anyone who wants to run their business from home, or it could become an income-generating holiday let.

The property is set well back from the road and approached via a pair of solid wood gates that open onto an in-and-out carriage driveway. This provides plenty of off-road parking and leads to a second pair of external gates to the front entrance and a pair of inner gates that open onto a separate parking area with independent access to the annexe.

With its high chimney stacks, varied roof lines, leaded light style bay windows, triple arched entrance and balcony, the house has immediate appeal even before you cross the threshold. This appeal continues as you walk into the lobby and see the delightful stained glass inner front door that opens into a warm and welcoming hall with original terracotta herringbone tiled flooring, panelled doors, and picture rails. The hall includes a spacious cloakroom and w.c., as well as the original oak staircase and access to the living accommodation.

The elegant dual aspect lounge still retains charming features from a bygone era such as the large bay window overlooking the garden, picture rails and a delightful stone fireplace with a gas fire. While the equally charming dual aspect dining room also has a bay window and a coal effect gas fire with a stone surround and is large enough for you to enjoy entertaining a dozen guests. But if you want to relax with the family or read a book there is a spacious dual aspect rear sitting room with French doors to the rear garden.

The light and bright contemporary kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of the household and will delight anyone who enjoys entertaining. It has ceramic tiles with underfloor heating and plenty of space for a table and chairs. There is a range cooker and glossy white flat-fronted units housing a dishwasher and waste bins and the sink has a boiling water tap. There is an American fridge freezer and a very useful large, built-in store cupboard. The kitchen is open to the utility area with laundry facilities and picture windows overlooking the garden and steps up to the back door.

Upstairs, the U-shaped galleried landing leads to the contemporary family bathroom with an oval stand-alone bath, separate shower and a fitted cupboard as well as to four double bedrooms. These include the impressive 20ft main bedroom with French doors to the front balcony providing glimpses of Pegwell Bay, a bay window, fitted and walk-in cupboards and an en suite shower room as well as a guest double with an en suite bathroom and a dual aspect double with fitted wardrobes. There is loft ladder access from the landing to the vast attic that is boarded throughout and which could be converted to provide additional accommodation with delightful views over Pegwell Bay.
