‘Tudor Court' was built in the late 1920s for a wealthy industrialist to his own individual design. This impressive six-bedroom residence retains a charming variety of Tudor inspired and Modernist features that add to its individuality. Bright and spacious with around 4,000 square feet of well-proportioned living space, the property is beautifully presented throughout; it is one the foremost properties on Shakespeare Road. Behind the solid oak front door the porch gives way to the sun-drenched open plan reception hall and sitting room.

The gracefully decorated dining room features a stone fireplace for an open fire, an oak mantle and panelling featuring delightful acorn carvings. Its sweeping bay window is framed by roses throughout the summer. The elegant drawing room features the original stone fireplace, oak mantelpiece and panelling. The bright, country-style kitchen benefits from extensive built-in storage including the original Welsh dresser, a deep larder, pretty built-in pantry and a Falcon induction range and hood. A large utility room with further storage cupboard and a study with views over the gardens complete the ground floor.

On the first floor five airy double bedrooms with high ceilings open off a bright galleried landing with a door out to the front balcony with a sea view. Four of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and storage as well as original, well-preserved feature fireplaces. The two front rooms have sea views, the three at the rear look over the gardens. There are two recently re-designed, well-proportioned family bathrooms and a home office. The second floor is the house's best kept secret: an enormous bedroom with splendid triple aspect views to the gardens and the sea. Several small ancillary rooms beg to become an ensuite.

The secluded, south-facing gardens combine pretty beds with lawns and mature trees providing privacy andcalm and the overall plot measures 0.3568 of an acre.

Birchington boasts an award-winning greengrocer, family-run butcher, bakery, delicatessen, florists, pet shops, a post-office, bank, beautician and three small supermarkets as well as good restaurants, cafés, a wine bar, micropubs, two dentists, an optician, a medical centre and well-regarded schools. Tudor Court is just 500 metres from Birchington-on-Sea station with trains to St Pancras and Victoria, as well as Ramsgate and Dover.

What the Owner says:


We've spent a tremendously happy decade here with our four children. It's an elegant but understated house with a bright, warm, welcoming atmosphere, but more importantly the house and garden have been truly magical places that will live in our memories forever.
For us the best aspects of living here boil down to four things: the beauty of the rooms, the way the house spills out into the huge garden, the unique character of Shakespeare Road, and the easy access to so many destinations (in particular London, but also Canterbury, the coast and the stunning Kent countryside).
Shakespeare Road is a wonderful hidden corner of East Kent. It's a ‘no-through' road which means it has minimal traffic, so it's a safe place for children and pets to explore and play, and the neighbours all watch out for one another. We are a stone's throw from the sea where we swim, paddle-board and kayak in the summer. The sea wall is a traffic-free path for running, walking and miles of pleasant coastal cycling.
Now the children are older they're free to do things without having to rely on their parents, because the train station is just around the corner – they regularly hop on the train to London for a day out or to go to a concert, it's so simple.
We're going to be very sad to leave, but we're also curious to meet the next custodians of this remarkable, happy house. We look forward to meeting you.
