Centrally located on Pierremont Avenue in Broadstairs, this handsome, 6-bedroom semi-detached house is exceptionally located for commuting, the beach, highly regarded local (grammar) schools and all the amenities that make this lively seaside town one of the top places to live in the UK.

Dating from the late Edwardian era, the property boasts all the elements one looks for in a period home - grand proportions; high ceilings; wide, spacious staircases and landings; generously sized rooms and a garden to the rear. The 2133 sq ft house has been very well maintained with stripped floorboards, sisal carpets and a neutral colour palette throughout. The owners have carried out extensive improvements to create a spacious, warm and welcoming feel whilst respecting the original features. On the ground floor of the house, a double reception room full of light and character adjoins the kitchen, with bi-fold doors leading out onto the sunny, south-facing garden. There is also access to a useful cellar for storage, plus a WC and separate shower room.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with the main bedroom being a huge 17’3 x 17’9 complete with a charming balcony to the front aspect of the house. The top floor has further three bedrooms, currently used as two workspaces and a storage room. Recently redesigned, the garden combines a paved patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining, with a lawned area framed by raised beds filled with tropical shrubs. There is also an off-street parking space to the front of the house – essential during the busy summer months when parking is at a premium.

One of the best things about the house, say the current owners, is its location. “Less than 10 minutes’ walk brings you to two beaches (Viking Bay’s bustling main sands, and Louisa Bay, which is quieter, dog friendly and with a lovely waterside cafe); Pierremont Park, great for little ones to let off steam at the playground; the bustling high street; and the train station with its high-speed links to London. Just down the road is a cluster of brilliant local restaurants and cafes - we love The Table (as does food critic Marina O'Loughlin) for ramen and Japanese-inspired street food, and the Little Sicilian for its authentic Italian food and cosy atmosphere. Plus two excellent cafes - Forts and Smiths – which both take their coffee very seriously."
