5 Bedroom Detached House

A substantial period house set within an exceptional plot of approximately 1.2 acres, enjoying a private and highly sought-after woodland setting just 1.6 miles from Whitstable and 5 miles from Canterbury.

Broomhirst offers generous and highly versatile accommodation extending to 3,779 sq ft (351 sq m). Now requiring comprehensive refurbishment, it presents a rare opportunity to create a bespoke family home of considerable quality, with further potential to extend, subject to all necessary consents.

The existing layout comprises a welcoming reception hall, an impressive drawing room opening into two conservatories, a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, and cloakroom.
To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms, including three en-suite shower rooms and an en-suite bathroom to the principal bedroom. A substantial loft room occupies the second floor and is accessed via a staircase. The house is also served by a lift.

The mature woodland gardens are a defining feature of the house, providing a beautifully secluded setting and a sense of complete privacy, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. A driveway affords ample off-street parking and access to an integral garage. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
