5 bed detached house for sale

Woodlands, Fox's Cross Hill, Whitstable CT5

Five double bedrooms | one-acre plot | double garage | butterfly footprint
"Woodlands" is a uniquely designed and exquisitely finished home, nestled within the Kent countryside on the outskirts of coastal Whitstable. Situated on a one-acre plot and accessed via a private gated driveway, the property enjoys sweeping views beyond its substantial gardens. Entered via a bridge walkway, the cleverly constructed layout immediately directs you to either the living accommodation or the upper-level sleeping quarters. The primary living space is an open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room, featuring full-width, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that frame a "show-stopper" garden view. Complementing the high-calibre utility and storage spaces is a secret cinema room accessed via a hidden door. The ground floor is completed by two offices and a WC, easily reimagined as an internal annexe. Upstairs, the master suite boasts a private balcony and an elevated view of the landscape. It features extensive fitted wardrobes and a high-end en-suite. Four additional double bedrooms are well-served by a luxury family bathroom, each enjoying different vistas of the grounds. A surprise bonus is the landing, which doubles as a viewing gallery for both wall-hung art and the verdant backdrop. Externally, the expansive lawn incorporates a natural swimming pond and a colossal hardwood deck perfect for large-scale entertaining. Practical features, such as underfloor heating, solar panels, and an mvhr system, ensure effortless living. However, it is the aesthetic choices-the cedar cladding, zinc pitched roof, and butterfly footprint-that truly allow this significant edifice to sink seamlessly into the surrounding countryside.
