Set on Royal Esplanade in Westbrook, this 1930s four-bedroom detached house blends Tudor Revival character with contemporary fittings. The front-facing principal bedroom enjoys sea views, while the ground floor offers separate lounge, dining room and a well-equipped kitchen with underfloor heating and integrated appliances. A detached garage with eaves storage and a long driveway with EV charging add practical parking and workspace options.
The west-facing garden has newly laid patio stones and a low-maintenance layout with a decorative water feature—good for evening sun and family gatherings. Internally there are two bathrooms (including an en-suite with underfloor heating), an airing cupboard, and useful pantry/utility space. Double glazing and a mains gas boiler provide modern comfort and efficiency.
Location is a key benefit: a short walk to Westgate High Street, nearby train station with high-speed links to London, and easy access to St. Mildred’s Bay. Local schools are rated Good, and the area is described as affluent with low crime and excellent connectivity—suitable for commuters and families.
Notable considerations: the house dates from 1930–1949 and externally the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation work could be needed. The property may benefit from internal modernisation in parts despite its upgraded kitchen. Council tax is high, and any extension would be subject to planning. Flood risk is low.
