Beach Road, Westgate-on-sea, CT8

NO CHAIN - Amazing location for this endearing Coastguard Cottage situated just mere yards from the Blue Flag Award winning bays of Westgate-on-Sea.
The neighbouring former Coastguard Station and its eight associated cottages were built by the Admiralty in 1870. The coastguards left Westgate in 1908, and the cottages were subsequently purchased by Sir William Ingram. These cottages are now incredibly sought after, offering a fantastic seaside lifestyle.
This particular property has undergone significant restoration with an elegant and stylish approach to its interior design, now providing a home which can be enjoyed from the moment you move in. Whilst doing the renovation, the owners were also mindful of insulating everywhere possible and added luxuries such as underfloor heating at the front of the ground floor.
As soon as you step inside, the quality of the restoration immediately becomes apparent. A stunning kitchen has been implemented which features traditional shaker cabinetry complimented by polished wooden worktops.
The lounge is wonderfully cosy with a feature brick fireplace which houses a log burning stove. The lounge then opens into an impressive conservatory which sprawls across the rear and overlooks the garden, creating a seamless blend of 'indoor-outdoor' living.
The cottage sits back from the road behind a brick wall and hedging, offering excellent privacy and has delightful gardens to both front and rear.
Overall, an incredible opportunity for those who are looking to be close to the beach and within short walking distance of the shops, bars, cafes and cinema.
