6 bed detached house for sale

North Road, Sandwich Bay, Sandwich, Kent CT13

Sandibay has been significantly extended and improved by the current vendors, with a focus on creating large, sociable rooms for everyday living and entertaining, juxtaposed with comfortable rooms to relax, unwind and escape.

The front door opens into the bright and welcoming reception hall, with a dramatic oak and glass staircase, and provides access to both wings of the house.

The substantial open plan kitchen/breakfast room and family area is a hugely impressive space. The kitchen has a multitude of fitted wall cabinets with modern integrated appliances, a central island with hob and breakfast bar, and a separate corner bench. The family area is partially vaulted with full height glazing allowing an abundance of light to fill the space. The adjacent dining room has ample space for a large table; there is also a study area and a useful cloakroom.

The extensive sitting/games room lies at the other end of the house. With French doors opening to the pool and terrace, it is an ideal space for summer entertaining.

Three generous en suite bedrooms are located on the ground floor (one with walk-in dressing room), any of which could be utilised as a further reception room, as desired.

Stairs rise to the bright and airy first floor landing with large storage cupboards. The principal suite has an en suite bathroom with both a shower and bath, and French doors open to a charming balcony with storage either side. The remaining two bedrooms are both en suite, with Bedroom 2 benefitting from a south facing balcony.

A brick driveway provides ample space to park several cars, From here there is an opening through to the entrance courtyard that leads to the front door.

The principal garden is laid to lawn interspersed with attractive specimen trees and shrubs and bordered by post and rail timber fencing. There is a partially walled south facing terrace off the family area, serving as a suntrap and the perfect spot to bask in the summer sun.

The 8m x 4m heated swimming pool is surrounded by a low-brick wall with railings and a gate to ensure family safety. A terrace provides room for sun loungers and chairs and is an ideal area for alfresco dining and summer barbecues. A tall fence provides complete privacy.

A pathway leads to the pool shed, and a further area of lawn to the rear of the house.
