Dukeswood, Chestfield CT5

Set within an impressive corner plot in excess of a third-of-an-acre, this substantial and beautifully presented family home occupies an enviable position within a small exclusive development and enjoys glorious, far-reaching views across Whitstable and towards the sea. The property offers four bedrooms and exudes charm and elegance throughout, having been maintained and presented to an excellent standard. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a strong first impression with its attractive kerb appeal, sweeping driveway and double garage. The driveway extends through gates to an area at the side where a motor home/caravan could be stored. The welcoming entrance hallway leads through to a stunning open-plan, dual-aspect lounge and dining area, subtly divided by a striking log-burning fireplace with an exposed brick chimney breast. Doors open into a large conservatory with a modernised roof, perfectly positioned to take in the tranquil views across the mature garden. The elegant kitchen is both stylish and sociable, featuring a breakfast bar and a comprehensive range of cream wall and floor units with contrasting work surfaces. Integrated appliances include an AEG electric high-level double oven, gas hob and dishwasher. To the lower ground floor is a generous double bedroom, a WC, and a separate utility room providing space for laundry appliances. From here there is also internal access to the spacious double garage, which offers excellent potential for conversion into an annex, subject to the necessary permissions. The first floor comprises the principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and ensuite shower room, a further double bedroom, a single bedroom and a family bathroom fitted with a white suite and bath. Externally, the gardens are a particular highlight, occupying an exceptionally generous plot and thoughtfully divided into distinct areas. A paved terrace leads directly from the house to a lawned garden, surrounded by a rich variety of mature trees, plants and borders providing colour throughout the year. Multiple seating areas offer options for sun or shade, including a striking pergola with patio. Additional features include a timber shed, greenhouse and a beautifully designed wild meadow area. The garden is perfectly complimented by uninterrupted scenic views towards Whitstable seafront.
