Epple Bay Avenue, Birchington, Kent, CT7

The houses on the seaward side of Epple Bay Road all have something in common. Most of them are individually designed detached properties and all their gardens go down to the cliff's edge, so there is not even a road or a path in front to detract from the stunning sea views. The charming and aptly named ‘Beach House' is no exception. It has been completely renovated by the current owners to create a beautiful modern home with all the luxuries associated with a high end refurbishment.

It is set back from the road half hidden behind a dwarf wall and shrub borders and approached via a driveway leading to the tandem garage. The drive is large enough to provide off road parking for about three cars and is flanked by a good sized front lawn. As you walk towards the modern front door the first thing you notice is the impressive Kent ragstone corner chimney balanced on the other corner of this lovely property by an inset ‘pillar' of Kent ragstone. There are also a pair of cathedral windows and an ‘eyebrow' window on the first floor adding to the exterior charm.

Once inside you can begin to appreciate everything that has been done to create a light and bright modern home. Starting with the individually laid herringbone high quality and very hard wearing LVT tiles you see in the entrance hall that flow throughout the ground floor. Off the hall is a useful study/fourth bedroom with a large built in cupboard and glass double doors that lead to the stunning dual aspect, open plan L shaped kitchen/diner &and lounge areas with a veritable wall of windows and two sets of French doors to the upper terrace and providing excellent sea views.

The spacious kitchen area incorporates a central island and a range cooker as well as bespoke units with Cararra marble worktops housing an integral dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer and discreetly hidden waste bins. You can look out to sea from the dining area while there is both a summer seating area with views out to sea and a cosy winter seating area with the corner fireplace and an open fire being the focal point on a cool winter evening.

What the Owner says:

We bought the property about two years ago as we loved the location, the views, the privacy and the size of the plot. At the time the property needed considerable updating as it had been built by the previous owners in the 1960s. So we have undertaken a complete renovation and modernization to provide a superb modern home. While we love the house, we feel it is time for a new chapter in our lives and are proud of the fact that new owners can move straight in without having to do anything but install their own furniture. At the same time there is potential for them to create additional facilities in the garage and workshop to suit their own needs.
