About this home

Perfectly positioned upon Westbrook’s sought-after and picturesque cliff top, this exceptional detached family residence enjoys a truly enviable coastal setting, with breathtaking and uninterrupted sea views extending across the coastline. Beautifully presented throughout, the property combines generous and versatile living accommodation with a wealth of unique features, including a private indoor swimming pool, south facing rear garden and spectacular sea facing balcony.

Approached via a wide private driveway, the property immediately makes an impressive first impression. The landscaped front garden and contemporary weatherboard exterior are complemented by a glazed balcony and expansive picture windows, creating a distinctive and highly attractive home.

Internally, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide an exceptional combination of family living and entertaining space, arranged over two floors.

The ground floor opens into a particularly impressive L-shaped lounge, flooded with natural light and featuring a large picture window overlooking the sea. A contemporary log burner style gas fire creates a warm and inviting focal point, while sliding doors lead through to the rear sun room.

From the sun room, a wall of full height glass bi-folding doors opens into the property's private swimming pool room, positioned beneath a striking high level atrium which floods the space with natural light. The bi-folding doors can be closed to create a secure and temperature controlled environment around the pool, while during the warmer months, a further wall of patio doors can be opened directly onto the outside terrace, creating a superb indoor/outdoor entertaining space. The pool area is further complemented by a useful cloakroom.

To the front of the property is the newly installed contemporary kitchen, which has been beautifully appointed with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a Rangemaster cooker. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, while another large picture window frames the property's wonderful sea views. A separate utility room is conveniently positioned to the rear of the kitchen, with a further downstairs WC completing the ground floor.

The first floor is equally impressive, offering four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a particularly luxurious arrangement, with a well appointed en-suite shower room, separate dressing room and direct access onto a private balcony.

From the balcony, panoramic coastal views stretch towards St Mildred’s Bay and across towards Margate, providing an exceptional outlook and a truly special place to start or end the day. Three of the four bedrooms benefit from sea views, while the fourth enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. A contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the secluded south facing rear garden provides a wonderful degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertaining. A paved sun terrace leads onto a level lawn, framed by mature planting, established shrub borders and high hedging. The garden also provides access to the pool house and a useful garden shed.

Properties offering this combination of uninterrupted coastal views, generous family accommodation, private swimming pool and a sought after cliff top position are exceptionally rare. An early internal viewing is therefore highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, space and unique lifestyle this outstanding home has to offer.
