5 bed detached house for sale

Grimthorpe Avenue, Whitstable, Kent CT5

Occupying an elevated position on the highly sought-after Grimthorpe Avenue, this substantial detached family home offers an exceptional combination of generous accommodation, a huge rear garden and truly stunning panoramic sea views across Whitstable and the coastline beyond. Grimthorpe Avenue is particularly well known for its elevated setting and coastal outlook.

Offering approximately 2,143 sq ft of accommodation arranged over three floors, the property has been significantly extended to create an incredibly versatile home with space that works perfectly for modern family life.

The standout feature on the ground floor is the impressive 35ft open-plan kitchen/dining room, a fantastic social space with a large central island, extensive fitted cabinetry and plenty of room for a substantial dining table. Roof glazing and wide doors allow natural light to flood the room while providing a wonderful connection with the garden. A separate utility room adds further practicality.

Alongside this is a superb 21ft lounge, where large areas of glazing take full advantage of the elevated position and provide beautiful views towards the sea. Doors lead directly onto the raised terrace, making this a fantastic room for both everyday living and entertaining.

The ground floor also provides an additional bedroom/living area with its own shower room, currently identified on the floorplan as an Airbnb space. This creates excellent flexibility for guests, older children, multi-generational living or potential income, depending on a buyer's requirements.

The first floor provides three generous bedrooms and the family bathroom, while the top floor offers a further two bedrooms and WC. The impressive principal bedroom is particularly special, with wide opening doors and a glazed Juliet-style balcony taking full advantage of the far-reaching views.

Outside is where this home really comes into its own. To the front, the substantial driveway provides ample off-road parking, while to the rear is an exceptionally large garden that is rarely found with a property of this type. The elevated terrace provides a superb entertaining space overlooking the garden, while the extensive lawn beyond offers tremendous room for families to enjoy.

Perhaps most impressive of all are the panoramic views across Whitstable towards the sea, which can be enjoyed from the house, terrace and garden. The combination of the elevated position, extensive plot and coastal outlook makes this a particularly distinctive home.

With five/six-bedroom flexibility, over 2,100 sq ft of accommodation, substantial parking, an enormous garden and some truly outstanding sea views, this is a rare opportunity to secure a sizeable family home in one of Whitstable's most elevated residential locations.

Location

The popular seaside town of Whitstable is situated on the stunning North Kent coast, 7 miles north of the historical city of Canterbury and less than 60 miles from central London. With its quaint alley ways, colourful high street and peaceful shingle beaches this town has a lot to offer both residents and holiday makers. For entertainment there are excellent water sport facilities, plenty of art galleries, and a wealth of independently run restaurants, boutiques and cafes to enjoy along the vibrant high street. The Crab and Winkle Way, one of the earliest passenger railways and the first ever steam-powered railway in the world, follows the disused railway line between Canterbury and Whitstable, and is now a popular walking and cycle route through woods and countryside. Road links via the A299 Thanet Way give easy access to the M2 for travel to London and beyond. Whitstable also has a main line train station providing fast and frequent links into London Victoria (1hr 30 mins) and London St Pancras (1hr 11mins).
