5 bed detached house for sale

Pierpoint Road, Whitstable CT5

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.

Location

The popular seaside town of Whitstable is situated on the stunning North Kent coast, 7 miles north of the historical city of Canterbury and less than 60 miles from central London. With its quaint alley ways, colourful high street and peaceful shingle beaches this town has a lot to offer both residents and holiday makers.
This town is famous for its working harbour and oysters, which have been collected in the area since Roman times and celebrated at the annual July Whitstable Oyster Festival.
For entertainment there are excellent water sport facilities, plenty of art galleries, and a wealth of independently run restaurants, boutiques and cafes to enjoy along the vibrant high street. The Crab and Winkle Way, one of the earliest passenger railways and the first ever steam-powered railway in the world, follows the disused railway line between Canterbury and Whitstable, and is now a popular walking and cycle route through woods and countryside.
Road links via the A299 Thanet Way give easy access to the M2 for travel to London and beyond. Whitstable also has a main line train station providing fast and frequent links into London Victoria (1hr 30 mins) and London St Pancras (1hr 11mins).
