Description 

A well presented detached family house situated in an elevated location in the sought after seaside fishing village of Kingsdown enjoying views down over the village to the sea.

The property has been substantially extended and refurbished over the years to create a spacious family home that displays coastal light throughout.  A new ‘Worcester Bosch’ boiler and solar panels ensure this is a modern energy efficient home.  High speed fibre broadband and a fast train service to London allows flexible home working.  Adaptable accommodation arranged over 2 floors. A hall opens to the 2 main reception rooms, a very spacious (19’11 x 19’11”) lounge and (19’11 x 11’7”) dining room which opens into a sunroom with lovely outlook over the rear garden. The well equipped modern Kitchen/breakfast room leads off the lounge and also looks out over the garden, the kitchen leads through to a utility room and downstairs wet room style shower /cloakroom. From the hall a staircase rises to the first floor with a very large principal bedroom (22’10”x18’) with its own en-suite bathroom. This bedroom could, with relatively little work/cost, be subdivided to create a 5th (double) bedroom, whilst still leaving a good sized main bedroom with use of the en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom.

The house is set back with a low brick wall fronting Glen Road. Lawns flank a central pathway which is edged with lavender. A bonded gravel driveway provides parking for 2/3 cars leading to the double garage. The generous sized rear garden is a particular feature of Glen House, private and sheltered with a sunny south-westerly aspect. Mainly lawn with flower borders, large greenhouse, a summer house with a covered veranda and leading out from the sunroom is a sandstone terrace with timber loggia, ideal for alfresco entertaining. 

The property is conveniently situated adjacent to the village Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted).  It is within walking distance of a network of footpaths offering lovely walks over the Glen, towards Walmer Castle and the Beach. 

KINGSDOWN is a former fishing village of charm and character and offers a range of leisure activities.  In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a Newsagent/Post Office, three Public Houses, the Church of St Johns and a Primary School, recreational activities include water sports and fishing along with Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Course. A further three champion golf courses are a short drive away including Royal St Georges in Sandwich (venue for the British Open).  The historic coastal town of DEAL has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town.  DOVER, with its docks and cross-Channel services, is seven miles away, offering fast access to the Continent and fast Rail Link access to London St Pancras travelling from the nearest station at Walmer (1hr 15mins).
