5 bedroom for sale
£900,000
No Forward Chain.......
This utterly unique five bedroom house sits in a magnificent elevated position beneath Whitstable's historic windmill, with commanding views over the town and the sea and a breathtaking vista all the way to Southend. You can while away the hours watching the shipping entering the Thames, see the Maunsell Forts, or just gaze at the ever-changing sky from the large balcony. You are moments from the beautiful green space of Duncan Down, giving a wonderful rural feel whilst being so close to all the town's amenities.
The ground floor has four large and inviting reception rooms. The largest is a high-ceilinged sunken living room giving the strongest of the house's mid-century modern vibe. The next largest is the sun room, which is flooded with light and also has a high ceiling, it opens onto the garden via large sliding doors, allowing for magnificent inside/outside summer living. It leads into a smaller breakfast room adjoining the large kitchen. There is a utility room with a WC. Last but not least, there is a large games room - ripe for lively evenings of pool and darts. This house is an absolute must if you love to entertain!
Upstairs are four large, light-filled double bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and two enjoying the stunning views over the town and sea. There is a further family bathroom. The master bedroom is very large, with ample storage and an en-suite with a large bath.
The garden in front is filled with fruit trees - three pears, a large apple tree, two plum trees and a wealth of raspberry bushes surrounding the off-road parking for six cars, as well as a garage. To the rear, the large garden provides further entertainment space. The building in the garden was created by a local designer/builder to blend sensitively with the windmill it nestles under. This structure is built to a very high standard, it's fully insulated and has double-glazing, it also has mains water and electricity and a living roof. It's currently used as a workshop, but would make a magnificent artist studio, extra accommodation or a luxurious man cave! There is a second large cabin in the garden, which also has full mains electricity and is next to a small pond.
The house benefits from planning permission to modernise and extend the balcony, add sliding doors to the two front bedrooms, and to remodel the back window configuration - adding a juliette balcony to the master bedroom, French windows to the breakfast room and windows the full-length of the kitchen. Along with adding a lookout accessed at the western end of the upstairs corridor.
