Built eight years ago this superb contemporary, detached three storey residence offers style, elegance and technical innovation to impress even the most discerning homeowner. It is located on a private road that ends on National Trust Land incorporating the South Foreland Lighthouse, so is very quiet and safe for children and pets.

It includes high end features such as ceramic wood effect flooring on the lower ground and ground floors and wood flooring on the first floor, oak doors, an impressive wood staircase with inset lighting and feature plasterwork in the kitchen, living room and dining room. It is also extremely energy efficient for a property of this size with underfloor heating throughout and discreet solar paneling.

Further steps lead up to the fascinating hall with its curved glass block feature wall that opens into the superb, double aspect kitchen/dining area that is spacious enough to accommodate a large dining table. This light and bright room has wide sliding doors to a front balcony as well as vast patio doors to a magnificent patio, covered by a louvered roof. There is a substantial central island/breakfast bar that includes modern units housing two integrated freezers, a wine fridge, segmented bins, a sink and dishwasher while around the wall there are additional units with a large fridge, two built in ovens, a combi microwave, a steamer and an induction hob.

There is an impressive living room with a variety of uses, that the current owners use as a games room/library and currently includes a pool table, built-in bookshelves and a delightful reading corner with contemporary log burner. Full width sliding glass doors give access to a further front balcony, covered by bespoke modern shutters that open and close as required. The lower ground floor is amazing. It includes a large room that is currently in use as a gym with patio doors to a small private courtyard and a double shower room as well as a large, fitted utility room. The gym could easily be used as a fifth bedroom or should it be required this whole area could become a separate annexe for elderly relatives or adult children. There is also a wine store and understairs storage as well as access to the double garage with its automatic doors and a cupboard containing the Control 4 home automation system, which enables you to control heating, lighting and surround sound music (there are built-in speakers in the ceilings of most of the rooms and on the patio) from either a wall-mounted control screen, via Alexa, or from your phone anywhere in the world. However, the ‘piece de resistance’ on this floor is the fabulous, dedicated cinema with its full size screen. Speakers mounted behind the screen and at the back of the room to provide all around sound and the lights even dim when the film starts. All four bedrooms on the first floor are doubles with en-suite facilities including the stunning main bedroom with its fabulous bathroom incorporating a raised bath with lighting underneath and a triple shower. It also has a dressing area and a wall of sliding wardrobes behind the bed and offers excellent views across the Channel to France either through a veritable wall of patio doors that lead out onto the full length balcony or from the balcony itself when you are sitting there enjoying your morning cup of coffee or a nightcap in the evening. There are also contemporary shutters matching those in the library. The large guest suite includes sliding door wardrobes and a balcony overlooking the garden with remote control shutters. Two of the other bedrooms are currently in use as offices including one with fitted wardrobes and both have doors onto Juliette balconies with great sea views. For outdoor entertaining the covered terrace with a remote controlled opening roof and ceramic wood effect tiles matching the indoor flooring is ideal. However if you don’t want to be undercover there is an additional terrace as well as slate steps up to the rear lawn and slate paving stones wrapping around the rear and sides of the property.

Rising proudly at one of the highest points in Thanet, this historic property is an exquisite coastal home. Originally constructed circa 1906 as one of the earliest residences on the prestigious North Foreland Estate, this remarkable landmark began life as the North Foreland Tea House, later known as the Dutch Tea House, a celebrated coastal retreat where visitors paused for refreshments served by staff in traditional Dutch attire. Its terraces and lawns, open to the sea breeze, once welcomed figures such as Winston Churchill, Vincent Price and Peter Cushing. Today, after a meticulous, full‑scale restoration, the Dutch House stands not only returned to its former splendour but elevated into a masterpiece of contemporary coastal living. What was once a fading relic has been transformed into a beautifully curated family home, sensitively designed for the demands and luxuries of the modern era. Passing through the elegant entrance gate, a charming pathway bordered by a pebbled frontage and raised wildlife pond leads you toward the house. The first glimpse is impressive, but stepping inside reveals the true calibre of this residence. Solid oak floors, generous proportions and a sense of refined craftsmanship set the tone. The superb drawing room, anchored by a multi‑fuel burner, flows effortlessly through panelled folding doors into the sophisticated dining area and the serene study, where a wall of windows frames the side garden. With all doors open, the entire space becomes a magnificent, free‑flowing suite for entertaining, culminating in the enchanting orangery, once an open balcony, now enclosed with full‑length windows overlooking the secluded sunken garden. The contemporary kitchen and breakfast room is a triumph of design: granite worktops, bespoke cabinetry and limestone flooring create a luxurious yet welcoming environment. A range cooker, American fridge‑freezer, dishwasher and even an inset TV ensure every culinary moment is a pleasure. Beyond lies a practical utility room and a delightful family room opening onto a small courtyard with access to an external wet room, perfect for rinsing sandy children or muddy dogs after a day on the beach. A spacious landing leads to the modern family bathroom and three double bedrooms. Two open directly onto a vast wraparound balcony, including the principal suite, complete with fireplace, a sumptuous en‑suite featuring a raised slipper bath and wet‑room shower, and a beautifully appointed dressing room. The balcony flooring and composite railings promise years of maintenance‑free enjoyment of the expansive sea views. Ascend to the top floor for the home’s most breathtaking surprise. Alongside two further double bedrooms and another family bath/shower room lies the spectacular panoramic sitting room, a space wrapped in windows on three sides, offering uninterrupted views from sunrise where you can see France on a good day, to sunset across the North Foreland golf course and lighthouse. A wood‑burning stove and discreet kitchenette with fridge, bar and sink make this an irresistible retreat. Outside, electric gates open to generous parking for four cars and a driveway to the garage, perfectly positioned for potential conversion into a separate annexe or pool house (subject to planning). The rear garden, set below eye level for exceptional privacy, features manicured lawns, a large central terrace for al fresco dining, raised flower beds and a substantial summer house ideal as an outdoor dining room or a stylish teenager’s hideaway. The property also has planning permission for the erection of a three‑storey, four‑bed detached dwelling following the demolition of the existing garage. While this represents a substantial redevelopment space occupied by the garage, there remains the potential for someone to re‑apply for a smaller dwelling or an annexe should a reduced scale be more appropriate for them. You can see the planning application online using the planning application reference F/TH/24/0563.
