10 bedroom house for sale

Discreetly positioned along Convent Road with North Foreland Golf Course and the golden sands of Kingsgate bay in walking distance. Arusha is without question one of Broadstairs’ most distinguished residences. This remarkable 1920s double-fronted home is set within almost 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens, has an air of tranquillity and offers a rare balance of coastal elegance and refined country living.

Approached through electric gates and along a sweeping driveway, the property immediately impresses. Manicured lawns, mature trees & exquisite planting frame the house, the pitched-roof double garage complements extensive guest and resident parking.

Internally, Arusha is a celebration of timeless craftsmanship and scale. Grand reception spaces showcase 12ft ceilings with ornate plasterwork, oversized panelled doors, sweeping staircase, original fireplaces and wide sash windows that flood the interiors with natural light. The bespoke Umbermaster kitchen, with roof lantern & triple-aspect views, forms the heart of the home, a space designed for both family gatherings and elegant entertaining throughout the downstairs accommodation.

Across 3 floors, the accommodation is exceptional, the first floor hosts a magnificent principal suite with dressing room, bathroom & balcony overlooking the gardens, accompanied by 3 further bedrooms and family bathroom. The top floor provides 6 further bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a substantial store room, ready to transform, making the home as practical as it is beautiful. A private bar & multiple reception rooms complete the experience.

Rarely does a property of such stature, character & privacy become available in this coveted coastal setting. Arusha is more than a home; it is a statement of classic elegance, offering a lifestyle of distinction by the sea, with a storied past.

Once a commercial property, this magnificent home would also serve well as boutique hotel, wedding venue, luxury retirement home or spa sanctuary.
