4 bed detached house for sale

The Drove, Chestfield, Whitstable CT5

Situated in one of Chestfield's most sought-after locations directly fronting the 18-hole golf course, this substantial detached family home occupies a generous plot featuring a 104ft rear garden, a wide frontage with extensive off-street parking and a 34ft integral garage. The current owners have thoughtfully extended and re-modelled the property to create a comfortable and stylish home ideally suited to modern family living. Upon entering a spacious entrance hall provides access to all principal rooms and features an oak and glass balustrade staircase leading to the first floor. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, complete with an island unit, flowing seamlessly into a generous sitting area which in turn links to the dining area. This superb open-plan layout offers an ideal space for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen and sitting area enjoy views over the rear garden, while the dining area benefits from a front-facing window with attractive views across the golf course. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a separate snug and a study/fifth bedroom, both enjoying golf course views, along with a utility room and a convenient shower room. To the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom overlooks the golf course and benefits from a large balcony providing the perfect vantage point to enjoy the views and watch the sun set. The historic 14th-century barn, now converted into a popular public house and restaurant, is approximately 750 yards away. Bus services are available along Chestfield Road (around 525 yards) offering access to the charming harbour town of Whitstable (approximately 2.7 miles) and the Cathedral City of Canterbury (approximately 5.9 miles).
