For Sale7 Bedroom Detached House in Thanet Road, Westgate on Sea, Kent Ct8 8pb£800,000

This has been the family home for some 35 years and it is a wonderful place to bring up children as there is plenty of room for them to have their own space and only about a minute’s walk from the sandy beach. There is great potential for new owners to upgrade this very characterful seaside Edwardian villa to create a truly stunning home. I love Westgate and will continue to live here as I am moving to something smaller in this lovely seaside town with a friendly community and a village like atmosphere. It has some charming and individual shops including a unique parade of individual canopied shops and cafes as well as an excellent and inexpensive cinema, a golf course and  some very good restaurants in the vicinity including the Michelin recommended Quince. The Blue Flag beaches at West Bay and St Mildreds are wonderful for walking the dogs in the winter and swimming in the summer and, if you enjoy cycling, there are a number of excellent routes including part or all of the 32 mile stretch of coastline from Ramsgate to Reculver via the Viking Coastal Trail. The station is within easy walking distance with the fast train to London taking just over an hour and a half. There are also two very good secondary schools in the area as well as a number of well-respected primary schools with grammar and private schools available in Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Canterbury. Road links are very good with access to the Thanet Way for Canterbury and London while, for more in depth retail therapy and entertainment, there is the Westwood Cross shopping centre with its plethora of high street stores and restaurants, casino and bingo hall.
