Southwood Road, Tankerton, Whitstable
FAVOURED TANKERTON SEAFRONT AND SLOPES WITHIN A FEW MINUTES' WALK (0.3 MILES).
This deceptively spacious house benefits from a newly painted exterior, a smart introduction to this four-bedroom home with exceptionally versatile accommodation.
The ground floor comprises entrance hall, dual aspect lounge/diner, multi-functional second reception room, currently a home office but could easily become a second sitting room, hobby room or study room, kitchen with separate breakfast area, good size Upvc double glazed conservatory overlooking the rear garden, useful utility space and an all-important ground floor cloakroom.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, one cosy single bedroom, an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom and a family bathroom.
The pièce de resistance is an attractive garden created with an array of planting to add structure, texture and character to the landscape and provide a tranquil setting to sit and relax or enjoy the company of family and friends. The rear of the garden is screened by trellis and climbing plants and has been thoughtfully divided into a dedicated kitchen garden with raised beds and a greenhouse, while the other section of the garden is a very pleasant seating area created with the evening sun in mind.
An added bonus to this home is a spacious tandem garage/workshop situated at the rear of the garden, which is one of two garages, and could easily accommodate a multitude of uses; games room, hobby or craft room, home office or gym.
All in all this is a super family home providing a wonderful opportunity to enjoy and embrace a coastal lifestyle.
