An architect-designed house with a larger south-west facing garden, a short walk from the sandy shoreline at St Mildred’s Bay. Arranged across three floors, the house has a softer, more relaxed character, with light-filled spaces and an easy connection to the garden.

The House
The ground floor is arranged around an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining space, where a slightly more generous footprint allows for a natural sense of flow and ease. Large bi-fold doors open onto the garden, drawing in afternoon and evening light from its south-westerly aspect and extending the living space outside during the warmer months.

The kitchen has a softer, more muted material palette, with handmade German cabinetry, quartz worktops, integrated Bosch appliances, a Quooker boiling-water tap and a built-in wine cooler. A separate utility room is positioned discreetly alongside, allowing the main living spaces to remain calm and uncluttered.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom has a quiet, understated quality, complete with an en-suite shower room, while the main bathroom is finished with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and dark contemporary fittings that add contrast to the otherwise pared-back scheme.

The top floor is given over to a particularly peaceful bedroom, set beneath a sloping ceiling with aluminium roof lights drawing soft natural light into the space. It has a more secluded, retreat-like atmosphere, suited equally as a guest room, studio or place to work.

Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, powered by an air-source heat pump, providing an efficient and sustainable approach to year-round comfort.

Outside
The south-west facing garden is a defining feature of this house, enjoying a longer stretch of sunlight into the afternoon and evening. It has been designed with a coastal sensibility, combining shingle planting with a porcelain terrace for outdoor dining, along with a hardstanding area ready for a shed.

There are two allocated parking spaces with an EV charging point.

Setting
Westgate-on-Sea has a quieter, more considered pace than its neighbouring towns. Often referred to as ‘Mayfair by the Sea’, it is characterised by wide, tree-lined streets, handsome Victorian architecture and a strong sense of community.

The canopied high street is a short walk away and offers a mix of independent cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. St Mildred’s Bay is within easy reach, while neighbouring Margate provides a broader cultural offering, including galleries, restaurants and Dreamland.

Westgate station is approximately 0.3 miles away, with services to London Victoria, while nearby Thanet Parkway offers high-speed connections to London St Pancras in around 70 minutes.
