Step inside 3 Chapel Mews
Still looking as smart and sophisticated as the day it became the show house in 2019, this superb contemporary townhouse in a secure gated community is just a stone’s throw from the beach. While most of the surrounding properties are attractive apartments this is only one of three houses on the complex and the only one with sea views. The three storey residence was constructed to a very high standard and this is also reflected in the internal fixtures and fittings.
It is approached via an electronic gate with an entry phone system, CCTV and allocated parking. There is a contemporary front door leading to the hall with hard wearing Karndean flooring that flows throughout the ground floor and there are also bespoke wooden blinds on all the windows. The hall leads to the fabulous open plan, dual aspect living space that includes a kitchen, dining and living areas.
The kitchen includes a large, central island breakfast bar with high spec units housing a Bosch induction hob, built in oven, combi microwave and dishwasher as well as an integrated Hotpoint fridge, freezer and washer/dryer. There is also a very useful storage cupboard and plenty of room for dining and seating areas as well as a cloakroom adjacent to the back door that is ideal for a clean up after a trip to the beach.
On the first floor you will find a contemporary family bathroom with a bath and separate shower as well as two double bedrooms with one currently designed as an office. It has sea views so is an excellent place for anyone working from home. The third floor provides a wonderful main bedroom with a modern en suite shower room, fitted wardrobes and plenty of eaves storage.
There is a very spacious and secure rear courtyard that makes a great outdoor entertainment space for barbecues, al fresco meals and sunbathing. It also has a storage shed for all the garden furniture and a gate access to the car parking space and the seafront. So you can come back from the beach and go through the gate to the back door and get to the cloakroom without needing to traipse through the main part of the house.
Seller Insight
We bought this house off plan in 2019 and it has been a lovely home. The area provides everything we want and we are actually moving to another property nearby that is more suitable for our ongoing needs. The property is ideal as a permanent home but also makes an excellent holiday and weekend retreat being in a secure environment and with very low maintenance. It is only a minute’s stroll to Westbrook Bay and five minutes’ walk to the train station where the high speed train can take you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half.
There is a nearby parade of shops for daily essentials as well as hair and beauty salons and a bowls club and tennis courts for sporting activities and only a short walk to Margate town centre. In recent years Margate has taken on a new ‘persona’ with the Turner Contemporary gallery and the fascinating Old Town with its interesting bars, restaurants and quirky individual shops as well as the more familiar Main Sands, Dreamland and the Strokes 18 hole adventure golf course. There are also modern hotels while for sporting enthusiasts there is a cricket and tennis club and the nearby Westgate and Birchington Golf Club.
A little further afield is the Westwood Cross Shopping Centre and leisure complex with its high street stores, restaurants, Vue cinema and casino and a number of other golf courses. The main road offers easy access to the Thanet Way for London and Canterbury and at least one local primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted while excellent secondary education is available in nearby Broadstairs, Westgate and Ramsgate including both private and grammar schools.”*
