Property description








The Penthouse at Bay View Manor enjoys a highly desirable position, immediately adjacent to Westgate & Birchington golf course and commands panoramic sea views. Situated directly on the sea front with easy access down to the beach and the esplanade walk into Westgate on Sea about a mile away. Westgate on Sea is an extremely popular location owing to the ease in which it can be reached from London. With the choice of two railway stations, Westgate on Sea and Birchington within approximately a mile, the capitol can be reached in one hour and twenty six minutes. Whilst road commuters will find particularly good access to the A299 dual carriageway which joins the M2 motorway for quick travel to London, the M25 and M20.

Bay View Manor was built in 1996 by a local builder with a reputation for quality homes. The Penthouse affords spacious four bedroom accommodation with the luxury features one might expect in a home that was built for the builders own occupation. The principle living rooms and study have south and west facing aspects with uninterrupted, far reaching views along the coastline across a bay and views over the golf course. This is a very attractive building with balconies on three elevations and an unforgettable octagonal turret on one corner.

There are only three apartments at Bay View Manor, each has a front door directly from the grounds which are beautifully landscaped and professionally maintained. The apartments share an impressive in and out driveway, the attractive block paving continues to garages at the rear. The Penthouse has a double garage which incorporates a cloakroom with WC, there is outside storage and beyond the garage is a parking bay for a third car or a boat.

This is what the owner says

“This is an amazing home, obviously the views are outstanding but what I appreciate is the thought that has been put into designing such a spacious interior, it flows so well and is very practical to live in.”

“Perhaps not surprisingly, the person responsible for this fantastic design, was the builder who constructed the three apartments here and custom built the Penthouse as his own personal home, living here for eleven years before I was fortunate enough to buy it from him two years ago. If my work was not taking me to the north of England I would definitely be very content to stay, I don’t think I would ever tire of waking to see these fabulous views across the golf course and the sea.”

“The design certainly makes the most of this glorious location, the main living rooms face south overlooking the golf course. The dining room turret is perfect for entertaining, having both golf course and sea views across Epple Bay. The perfect day for me, starts with breakfast on the breakfast room balcony and finishing the day with a spectacular sunset from the master bedroom’s west facing balcony.”

“I particularly like the architecture, it’s a very attractive building, more like a grand house enjoying a sea front location. There are just two apartments below and the Penthouse occupies the entire top floor, we all have a share of the freehold and manage the maintenance cost of the grounds between us. There is a secluded south facing landscaped garden with pond feature where I have some Koi and even a communal barbeque for those occasions when it’s nice eat outside.”
