Tankerton Road, Tankerton, Whitstable, CT5

A substantial and imposing double fronted Edwardian house in an elevated position from where it commands far reaching roof top views across Whitstable and distant views towards the sea.

Red Gables is ideally situated within central Tankerton, moments from the beach and a short walk to Whitstable s fashionable town centre with its highly regarded restaurants and independent shops, bus routes and Whitstable Station (0.6 miles).

The house features striking red brick elevations with contrasting sandstone quoins, window margins and entrance porch, and a brick walled frontage to Tankerton Road of 120ft (36.5m). Internally, much period detail has been retained including joinery, mouldings, and some fireplaces.

In recent years the property has been the subject of a programme of remodelling and refurbishment and now provides beautifully presented and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors to include an entrance hall, four receptions rooms including an open-plan living room with kitchen/breakfast room and a former chapel, six double bedrooms, four bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a large dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with vaulted ceiling.

Outside, a detached outbuilding has been purpose built to provide two self-contained studio apartments and in addition there is a detached two storey annexe. Both have potential for a variety of uses including gym space, an art studio, home office, guest accommodation and/or holiday lets.

Electronically operated double gates open to a large driveway with plentiful off street parking and access to a double garage. To the rear, a paved terrace to the side of the house is ideal for entertaining, and overlooks the established gardens.
