This substantial Victorian detached house sits yards from the seafront and delivers impressive room proportions across four double bedrooms and three large reception rooms. Period detail—high ceilings, sash windows, decorative plasterwork and bay windows—remains a strong feature, combined with a large open-plan kitchen and a light-filled dining space with a sky lantern. The plot includes a generous rear garden, single garage and extensive off-road parking accessed from Beacon Walk.
The layout suits family life: ground-floor reception flexibility (one room can be used as a bedroom), a utility and WC, plus two well-appointed washrooms upstairs to support busy households. The property has been sympathetically modernised in places but retains authentic Victorian character, offering appeal to buyers seeking period charm with contemporary living spaces.
Practical points to note: windows are a mix of UPVC double glazing and single-glazed sash units, and some openings may be subject to conservation-area constraints. Council Tax is band F (expensive) and the local area records higher crime rates and measures of deprivation, which prospective buyers should weigh against the property's coastal location and strong leisure/transport links.
Internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate room sizes, period detail and the rear plot. The house has good commuting connections to Canterbury and London and is a sensible option for families wanting seaside living, or buyers considering a high-value coastal let, though budget for ongoing maintenance and possible window/upgrading work.
