This superb detached residence has been completely refurbished throughout to an extremely high standard by the current owners who have created an awe inspiring family home. It is located on the edge of a cul-de-sac in a quiet and peaceful area of the charming village of Kingsdown, only half a mile from the beach. The property is set back from the road and the front garden is partially hidden behind Portuguese laurel hedging. It is approached through a five bar gate and a driveway bordered by a large lawn and where you can park at least four or five cars.

The property has an impressive exterior with a contemporary double front door that leads to a glass fronted porch and the very spacious reception hall with porcelain floor tiles that flow through to the cloakroom and kitchen/diner as well as in all the bathrooms. The superb dual aspect kitchen includes contemporary units, a Rangemaster cooker, an integrated dishwasher, a central island/breakfast bar with an integrated fridge and space for additional appliances. There is also a laundry area and a door to the rear garden. It is open plan to the attractive dining room where family and friends will be delighted to enjoy a meal.

A well proportioned study is ideal for anyone who works from home while the large, light, bright and elegant sitting room, with its panelled walls and coved ceiling, is peaceful and relaxing. It includes a large wood burning stove you can cosy up to on a cool winter’s evening and opens into a charming octagonal conservatory with views over the easy to manage rear garden.

The large U-shaped galleried landing has a built in window seat and fitted storage cupboards and leads to the modern family bathroom with its stand alone oval bath and separate double shower as well as to the four bedrooms. There is a large single and three doubles including the beautiful main with its wall of fitted wardrobes and an en suite double shower.

Much of the rear garden is surrounded by Portuguese laurel that will provide privacy and you can enjoy the sunshine all day in the discreetly hidden decked terrace. The rest of the garden consists of a lawn and a large block paved patio as well as a door to the drive. There is also the large former double garage with wood effect flooring, lighting and electrics that would make an excellent study, a gym, games room and bar or could even be converted into a separate annexe.

Seller Insight

With business interests in property restoration and interior design we are extremely proud of our refurbishment of this spacious family home. We have thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and peaceful environment and being near the seafront. However we feel it is time for us to look for a new project and hope another family will be able to enjoy everything we have done to create this stunning home.

Kingsdown is a charming fishing village with a general store, post office, butcher and three pubs as well as the beach. You can drive or cycle along the lower road parallel to the seafront to Upper and Lower Walmer with shops and restaurants along the Strand but we are also not far from the countryside so have the best of all worlds.

The mainline station at Walmer with its high speed train can whisk you to London in an hour and 20 minutes so it is particularly useful for commuters or if you want a day out in Town. Deal is quite close by with its wonderful shops, seafront and restaurants and the Tides swimming pool complex is not far away.

There is the Kingsdown & Walmer and the Royal Cinque Ports golf clubs for golfing enthusiasts and if you want to go slightly further afield there is also the championship courses at Royal St George’s as well as Princes in Sandwich. If sailing is your interest there is the Downs Sailing Club with its clubhouse along the Strand in Walmer and there are a number of good primary schools in the area including Downs Primary and the Outstanding Kingsdown and Ringwould C of E primary, while Dover, Canterbury and Sandwich offer excellent grammar school facilities with top class private schools in Dover and Canterbury.*
