5 bed detached house for sale

Wraik Hill, Seasalter, Whitstable CT5

Treetops occupies a secluded position, offering far-reaching views across open countryside to the sea from the principal rooms, garden and balconies – the perfect vantage point to enjoy the area's renowned sunsets. Set within a substantial plot of approximately one acre, the grounds are currently arranged to include a formal garden, three paddocks (one featuring ten purpose-built dog kennels) and a large front garden providing ample parking for multiple vehicles.

Reconstructed in 2006 by the current owners, Treetops is a truly individual home thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding landscape. The accommodation is both adaptable and spacious with the added benefit of a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, ideal for multi-generational living or guest use. Upon entering you are welcomed into the heart of the home – an extensive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with a triple aspect and direct access to a covered seating area, ideal for family life and entertaining alike. Complementing this space is a large lounge/diner measuring approximately 28ft x 16ft, complete with a log-burning stove and an impressive bay window that frames picturesque views over the garden, paddocks and out to sea – the perfect setting for more formal occasions. A generously sized ground floor shower room completes the ground level.

To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to a balcony with stairs to the fourth bedroom benefiting from a Velux window/door opening onto a small roof garden with panoramic views. There are three further double bedrooms on the 1st floor, two with balcony access, while the principal bedroom also enjoys the use of an en-suite. A large family bathroom with both bath and shower facilities serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, the property offers versatile outdoor space, ideal for those with equestrian or canine interests, or simply seeking a peaceful rural setting.

Treetops is located in a sought-after semi-rural position on the outskirts of Whitstable, benefiting from easy access to the A229 and just 5.6 miles from the historic City of Canterbury. Whitstable town centre and mainline railway station are both within 2 miles offering excellent transport links and a range of amenities. Reputable schools are available locally in both Whitstable and Canterbury and regular bus routes connect the area to surrounding towns and the city via Clapham Hill.

An additional paddock is available by separate negotiation, if required.
