Westgate Bay Avenue, Westgate-on-sea, CT8

An utterly beautiful Victorian townhouse just yards from the seafront and covering an impressive 2976 sq ft (276 sq m) sprawling over four floors which includes a self contained two bedroom apartment.
Sticklers for perfection and attention to detail, the owners have taken the property through meticulous restoration with the juxtaposition of classic Victorian grandeur and soft contemporary modernisation working in perfect harmony.
From the moment you step inside the opulent entrance hall with its high ceiling and intricate cornicing, the sheer amount of space on offer immediately becomes apparent. An abundance of period features are found throughout the house with original fireplaces, ceiling roses and cornicing.
The ground floor provides a generous lounge, a formal dining room, a study and a cloakroom. A magnificent staircase which proves to be a real focal point rises to the incredibly spacious first floor. Here you will find a luxurious family bathroom, akin to a 5* hotel suite with stunning marblework, freestanding bath and 'His & Hers' basins set upon beautiful cabinetry whilst herringbone 'Karndean' flooring adds to the high end finish.
This kitchen/breakfast room is also found here with the elegant master bedroom, a dressing room, and a utility room.
The second floor is equally as spacious and impressive, providing a stunning shower room, separate WC, two additional double bedrooms and a single room.
A self contained two bedroom apartment occupies the entirety of the lower ground floor and covers 753 sq ft (70 sq m) alone. This has proved to be a lucrative holiday let but may prove ideal for those with a dependent family member or an adult child seeking independence. Despite being at lower level, it enjoys a lovely amount of natural light. This spacious private living space accommodates two large double bedrooms, an open plan lounge/kitchen area with well equipped kitchen and a modern shower room with WC. This apartment also benefits from its own front door and access to the south facing courtyard but it can also be accessed via a staircase from the main house.
Overall, a truly spectacular Victorian residence which has been meticulously renovated inside and out, preserving its historic charm and creating an elegant home which is ready to move into. Significant updates to note are a brand new roof and central heating system.
