Setting the Scene
Positioned within a well-regarded residential pocket of Broadstairs, this substantial detached home offers close to 3,000 sq ft of versatile, light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors. Designed with modern family living in mind, it combines generous proportions, multiple reception spaces and a standout rear extension that brings in an abundance of natural light.

This is a home that adapts — perfectly suited to large families, multigenerational living or those simply looking for space that works long-term.

Take a Look Inside
The ground floor immediately sets the tone with space and flexibility. Two well-proportioned reception rooms provide options for formal living, a snug, playroom or home office.

• Main Living Room: 16'7 x 12'10
• Second Sitting Room: 12'10 x 12'4

To the rear, a substantial extension spans the full width of the house, creating a bright and versatile reception space. Designed to maximise natural light, it features striking glass lantern roofs, extensive glazing and French doors opening onto the garden, making it an ideal area for dining, entertaining or relaxed day-to-day living.

This space connects through to a separate kitchen, finished with quartz worktops, which in turn leads to a dedicated utility room — offering a practical layout that balances open, social areas with clearly defined functional spaces.

A large utility room, multiple storage cupboards and a downstairs WC complete the practical side of the ground floor.

One of the standout features is the ground-floor bedroom suite, ideal for multigenerational living.

Measuring approximately 16'0 x 10'0, it includes a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room, making it perfect for extended family, guests or independent living within the home.

Upstairs
The first floor offers four bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms and three benefiting from built-in wardrobe storage. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, making this floor both practical and well-balanced.

The top floor is dedicated to an impressive principal suite.
• Bedroom: 20'10 x 16'0 with built-in wardrobes
• Additional vanity and desk area
• Large en suite featuring bath, double sinks, marble worktops, and a generous walk-in shower complete with DB specialist joinery bespoke cupboards and draws.

This level feels like a private retreat, separate from the rest of the house.

The Outside Story
The rear garden is both large and family-friendly, offering plenty of space for entertaining, relaxing and play. The addition of a swim spa gives it a real lifestyle edge.

To the front, the property benefits from a single garage, and a large driveway with parking to up to five cars, with the overall plot reflecting the same sense of space found inside.

Location, Location
Set within the ever-popular seaside town of Broadstairs, Selwyn Drive enjoys the best of coastal living combined with genuine day-to-day practicality — a balance that continues to draw families, London movers and lifestyle buyers alike.

For families, the area is particularly appealing thanks to its access to highly regarded primary schools, many of which are rated Outstanding by Ofsted, alongside a strong selection of grammar schools and secondary options across the Thanet area. It’s a location where education genuinely adds long-term value.

Broadstairs itself is one of Kent’s most characterful coastal towns, famously associated with Charles Dickens, who spent time here and drew inspiration from its coastline and charm. That heritage still weaves through the town today, giving it a sense of identity that feels both historic and vibrant.

At the heart of the town lies Viking Bay — a Blue Flag beach known for its golden sands, traditional seaside feel and safe, family-friendly environment. From here, you can enjoy everything from early morning swims to summer days on the sand, all just a short distance from your front door.

Broadstairs High Street continues to thrive, offering a mix of independent cafés, well-regarded restaurants and boutique shops. The town is known for its strong café culture, regular food events and its famous Folk Week, which brings the community together and draws visitors from across the country.

For commuters, Broadstairs railway station provides direct services to London, with journey times to St Pancras International in approximately 1 hour 14 minutes, making it entirely feasible for those balancing coastal living with city work.

Beyond Broadstairs, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the wider Thanet coastline. The neighbouring towns of Margate and Ramsgate are both just a short drive away, each offering their own distinct atmosphere — from Margate’s creative and cultural scene to Ramsgate’s historic harbour and marina.

The area also benefits from a recognised microclimate, often enjoying some of the warmest and driest weather in the UK, which only enhances the appeal of its beaches, outdoor lifestyle and year-round coastal living.

What truly sets Broadstairs apart, however, is its community feel — welcoming, family-oriented and full of life. It’s a place where people settle, not just pass through.

Final Word
This is a home that delivers on every level — size, flexibility, lifestyle and location. With nearly 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, a superb multigenerational layout and one of Kent’s most desirable coastal towns on your doorstep, Selwyn Drive offers a rare opportunity to secure long-term family living in Broadstairs.
