One of Whitstable’s largest and finest seaside homes. Cliff Dene House is a prominent landmark building designed by eminent Edwardian Architect, Sir Basil Champney, standing in an elevated position on Marine Parade from where it commands far reaching, uninterrupted views of the sea as well as superb roof top views across Whitstable.
This magnificent home provides extensive accommodation arranged over four floors and totals approximately 5,291 sq ft (492 sq m) including the garage. The building enjoys a superior finish throughout with high specification fixtures and fittings including opulent bathrooms and a beautifully designed kitchen, with underfloor heating throughout. Houses of such generous proportions are rarely found in this highly sought after sea facing location, and this is an opportunity to purchase a truly ‘Turn Key’ property.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/living room facing the sea, dining room, study, utility room, cloakroom and garden room set beneath two glazed atriums with bi-folding doors opening onto the South facing gardens. To the first floor there is a sea facing living room with access to a balcony, a study/bedroom, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The second floor comprises the principal bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing room, and there are two additional bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms to the third floor. Within the South facing landscaped garden there is a detached double garage, accessed from Cliff Road.
Location
Marine Parade is considered to be one of the most sought-after locations in Whitstable. Being on the seafront not only means that you can take full advantage of the views but also of the comprehensive range of shopping facilities and other amenities at Tankerton which are but a short walk away.
Whitstable is approximately 1.4 miles distant offering further educational, recreational and leisure amenities including water sports activities together with the sea food restaurants for which the town has become renowned.
There is also a mainline railway station offering fast and frequent services to London. The A299 is also easily accessible providing a dual carriageway link to the M2/A2 giving access to the channel ports and subsequent motorway network.
