Set on a substantial plot in Westbrook/Margate, this detached three-bedroom house offers clear scope to create a comfortable family home. The property is chain-free and sits on a decent-sized garden with off-street parking and an integral garage, giving space for cars, storage or a workshop. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for home working or streaming.
Internally the layout is flexible: a lounge and dining area, separate kitchen, conservatory and ground-floor WC, with three bedrooms and a single family bathroom upstairs. The house is liveable but requires modernization throughout — cosmetic and systems updates will be needed to bring rooms up to contemporary standards. There is scope to extend or reconfigure subject to planning, providing good potential to increase living space and value.
Practical details are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing and moderate council tax. Important to note: the local recorded crime level is high, which may influence buyer priorities and insurance costs. Buyers should also factor renovation costs and any planning approvals into their budget.
This property will suit buyers who want a ready-to-improve detached home in a coastal commuter location — families wanting access to good local schools and beachside amenities, or investors looking for long-term uplift after refurbishment. Viewings are recommended for those who can see the potential and plan for a renovation project.
