5 bed detached house for sale

Waldron Road, Broadstairs, Kent CT10

This is a unique opportunity not only to modernise this delightful detached house and create a stunning family home, but also the property includes a separate garden area with direct double gate access to Dumpton Park Drive that could provide an interesting development opportunity, subject to the necessary planning permissions. This is the only property on the prestigious Waldron Road with such potential.

This characterful 1920s property was designed by Edgar Ranger in the Arts and Crafts style and this is the first time the property has been put up for sale since it was built. Whilst in need of modernisation it will make a wonderful family home.

The house is half hidden behind high hedging and mature shrubs with double gates to a paved driveway leading to the integral garage and a path with steps up to the oak framed overhang porch and front door. Other external features include high chimneystacks, black and white eaves and bay and casement multi-pane windows, while exposed beams, picture rails, the original staircase and fireplaces add to the internal character.

The entrance hall includes an understairs and a storage cupboard while the characterful dining room features a curved bay window, a beamed ceiling and a superb tiled fireplace with a high solid wood surround and a wood mantlepiece. The adjacent sitting room includes a coved ceiling, a brick fireplace with another solid wood surround and mantle plus a full height bay window incorporating French doors to the rear garden. The divided staircase leads to a small double bedroom and a large light and bright double with a bay window, with another double with a bay window overlooking the rear garden. A fourth double with garden views has a tiled fireplace and a built in cupboard. On the other side of the stairs is a double bedroom, a bathroom and separate toilet, and there is a spacious loft which could be converted to provide a stunning main suite with elevated sea views over Dumpton Gap.

The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn surrounded by trees and shrubs. It leads to the hidden area with a path to the double gates that open onto Dumpton Park Drive, providing plenty of space for the construction of an additional property.

What the Owner says:
I have lived in this special house for decades and it has been a wonderful home in a fantastic area, only a short stroll to the clifftops and the sandy beach at Dumpton Gap. Sadly health issues mean I have had to move.
I enjoy Broadstairs with its individual shops, bars, restaurants and a cinema as well as annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. Broadstairs includes excellent state primary, junior and secondary schools including a very good grammar school, private schools and a station where the fast train can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half. There are plenty of sports clubs including squash, tennis, cricket and rugby as well as the renowned North Foreland golf club.
