About this home
Situated on the highly sought after Royal Esplanade, close to the junction of Westbrook and Westgate, is this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home, enjoying stunning west-facing views across St Mildred's Bay.
The property occupies an enviable coastal position, while also being conveniently located within easy reach of Westgate's charming Victorian canopied shopping parade, offering a variety of shops, cafés and restaurants, together with a multi-screen cinema and mainline railway station. Westgate's two beautiful golden sandy bays are also within easy reach.
The property has been traditionally designed and retains a wealth of charm and character. Upon entering through the glazed porch, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall featuring a sweeping staircase leading to the first floor, with central windows flooding the space with natural light.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a bay-fronted lounge, with a separate dining area to the rear leading into a delightful glazed sunroom. There is also a generous 16ft modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room, together with a contemporary shower room and separate WC.
Upstairs, a spacious galleried landing provides access to four well proportioned double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath.
Externally, the property benefits from a beautifully maintained and private rear garden, featuring a variety of mature trees, established plants and shrubs, together with a paved patio area and useful timber built shed. There is access around the side of the property leading to the front.
To the front, there is access to a single garage with additional off-street parking. The front garden also incorporates a lawned area which provides the perfect spot from which to sit back and enjoy the spectacular west facing sunsets for which this stretch of coastline is renowned.
The property has been lovingly cared for by the current owners, who have enjoyed living here for over 40 years, and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in such an enviable coastal position.
In our opinion, properties of this nature and location rarely become available, making an early internal viewing essential to fully appreciate the accommodation, character, sea views and lifestyle this exceptional home has to offer.

Location -
Birchington was once considered ‘the epitome of modest’. That statement may still be considered. Understated opulence: a wealth of late Victorian and Edwardian properties stand alongside flint or cliff-top cottages - Birchington really does have something for everyone. An array of bakers, an ice cream parlour and vintage shops make Birchington the perfect village location to base yourself if you still need to commute to the City. Located just minutes from the A299 with a journey of approximately 75 minutes to the O2 Arena and Greenwich. Of course if you’d like a stress-free journey then just take the train from Birchington straight through to London Victoria. Travel in the other direction and just three stops along you’ll be able to enjoy the seaside towns of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. There are a number of schools within the village from nursery through to Secondary education and a doctor’s surgery. Those who enjoy sport will find a magnificent 18-hole golf club, windsurfing along Minnis Bay, (not forgetting the atmospheric Minnis Bar & Restaurant) endless miles of promenade for serious runners, gentle beach-top walks or just follow the Viking Trail bike rides. A popular residential area for young families, London commuters, second home purchasers and retired couples.
