5 bed detached house for sale

Gresham Avenue, Margate CT9

'Littlemount' is a substantial detached residence with an attached self contained annexe, perfectly positioned just yards from the seafront within the prestigious 'Avenues' of Westbrook.
Built in 1928 by local master builder, Henry Fuller, the property follows an elegant and classic design which retains a number of original features such as stained glass windows, original front door, panelled internal doors, plate racks and picture rails.
The large entrance hall provides a wonderful sense of grandeur with the attractive balustrade staircase providing a double height aspect and stained glass windows taking you back to a bygone era.
There are two principal reception rooms, both sit to the front of the house with a pleasant outlook. An open plan kitchen/diner sprawls across the rear and is perfect for both formal and casual entertaining. The kitchen itself is well equipped and features two large pantry cupboards. A very handy utility/cloakroom concludes the spacious ground floor.
The split level galleried landing presents four palatial size bedrooms decorated in soft neutral tones, two bathrooms and an additional WC. There is great potential to create an en-suite if desired. Other lovely features to note upstairs include original built in cabinetry in the bedrooms and landing as well as basins in two of the bedrooms; perfect for when you have guests staying.
Moving outside and the property enjoys a 91' (27.77m) rear garden which was redesigned by Catherine Froggatt, an rhs qualified garden designer who specialises in sustainable planting. The garden has a formal lawn and a huge Indian sandstone patio flanked by well stocked flower beds which also have an irrigation system. There are three olive trees, a specimen tree (London Plane) and fruit trees to help the garden feel softer and provide natural screening.
Attached to the house on the ground floor is the annexe which is accessed independently via French doors. The annexe provides a healthy income and has its own lounge, fitted kitchen, large bedroom, shower room and access to the rear garden from an inner hall. This versatile space may provide ideal for an elderly family member or adult child seeking independence.
A very impressive home kept in impeccable order which offers a rare opportunity in one of the best Avenues in Westbrook.
