What the Owners Say: We moved here in 2014 and have loved living here and are only moving as we are starting a new chapter in our lives. We originally bought the bungalow because we felt the location was absolutely ideal as we feel we are in the country with Blean woods behind us and woodland in front but, at the same time, it is only a short distance to the centre of Chestfield and not far to Whitstable.The area is very quiet and peaceful and, as it is on a private ‘no through’ road, it is very safe for children and pets and if you have horsey interests there is a livery stables opposite. There are plenty of lovely places to go for walks on the nearby footpaths as well as along the Crab and Winkle Way. Chestfield is a friendly village and includes the Chestfield Golf Club as well as the cricket club and if you want to go out for a drink or a meal locally there is the 14th century Chestfield Barn bar and restaurant.Both Chestfield and Swalecliff and Whitstable stations are under a mile away and, while a train journey to London from Canterbury is faster, the train from Whitstable can whisk to London in an hour and a quarter.  We are also only a short distance from the Thanet Way and Dover and Folkestone are within easy reach for trips to the Continent. While there are a number of good and outstanding primary schools in the area.Whitstable is nearby with its bars, restaurants, individual shops, station and historic harbour and we are only five miles from the UNESCO city of Canterbury with its heritage buildings, high street stores, pubs and eateries as well as top class private and grammar schools, three universities and a station where trains to London take less than an hour.

Swallows End came onto the market privately, almost as though it were meant for us, and from the moment we arrived, we knew it was exactly what we had been hoping for. The setting, the land, the feeling of space and tranquillity it was all perfect.Since moving in, we have poured love and attention into making the house somewhere truly special.

The house as a whole is a wonderful place to gather: with seating for eight in the kitchen, ten in the dining room, and six to eight in the sitting room, entertaining is always relaxed and enjoyable. For quieter moments, the study provides a cosy retreat to work or read. Besides the kitchen renovation, we have also updated two of the bathrooms, while the utility room we created from part of the garage offers generous storage and practicality.Outside, the half-acre garden is mostly flat lawn bordered by far-reaching fields.

We are just across the road from steps down to the fantastic Blue Flag West Bay and in the summer months we spend as much time enjoying the beach as possible.During our time here we have update and extended the property to create the amazing home you see today, which is just ready for new owners to walk into and not have to do anything except install their furniture. We also designed it to be very low maintenance and is very much a ‘lock up and go’ house if you want it as a holiday home, but it can equally well be a very special permanent home for a large family revelling in the location.Westgate is a lovely seaside town and the station is within easy walking distance with the fast train to London taking just over an hour and a half. Westgate is also a very friendly community with a village like atmosphere. It has some charming and individual shops including a unique parade of individual canopied shops and cafes as well as an excellent and inexpensive cinema, a golf course and  some very good restaurants in the vicinity including the Michelin recommended Quince. The Blue Flag beaches at West Bay and St Mildreds are wonderful for walking the dogs in the winter and swimming in the summer and, if you enjoy cycling, there are a number of excellent routes including part or all of the 32 mile stretch of coastline from Ramsgate to Reculver via the Viking Coastal Trail.There are also two very good secondary schools in the area as well as a number of well-respected primary schools with grammar and private schools available in Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Canterbury. Road links are very good with access to the Thanet Way for Canterbury and London while, for more in depth retail therapy and entertainment, there is the Westwood Cross shopping centre with its plethora of high street stores and restaurants, casino and bingo hall.

“We’ve thoroughly enjoyed living in this home and have thoughtfully renovated it over the past five years to create a comfortable, stylish space that balances modern living with character. From open, light-filled rooms to updated finishes throughout, it’s been a joy to make it our own. It’s been a wonderful space for hosting family, relaxing in the garden, and enjoying the local community.The location has been a real highlight for us. We're just a five-minute walk from the local primary school, which has been perfect for family life. The high-speed train station nearby makes commuting incredibly convenient, and the local gym with a pool has added a great balance to our daily routine. At the back of the property is a playing field with a new park.The vicinity boasts a range of highly regarded educational options, including four other primary schools and two Outstanding grammar schools nearby. For families considering independent education, there are excellent private schools in Dover, Canterbury, and Ashford.Folkestone itself is a beautiful seaside town — full of charm, creativity, and a real sense of community. From the coastal walks and harbour to the independent shops and cafés, there’s always something to enjoy. For those with an active lifestyle, Folkestone offers a wealth of sporting facilities — from the popular Folkestone Sports Club to local rugby, football, cricket, hockey, and both indoor and outdoor bowls clubs. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at either the scenic Etchinghill Golf Club or the prestigious, Henry Cotton-designed Sene Valley Golf Course.”Now that our needs are changing, we’ve decided it’s the right time to downsize. It’s a home that has given us so much, and we’re proud to pass it on to someone new who will appreciate the quality, warmth, and attention to detail we’ve put into it. We’re confident it will bring the next owner as many happy memories as it has brought us.”

This majestic three storey detached residence in the heart of Folkestone’s prestigious West End was originally built in 1925 as a weekend and holiday retreat for wealthy Londoners – and could become that again. However, it fell into disrepair but was rescued by the current owners about 14 years ago and was completely gutted and renovated from top to bottom including a new roof with 28,000 tiles, new ceilings, plumbing, electrics, insulation, kitchen and bathrooms. At the same time not only did they retain the superb period features but where some features had been destroyed or removed, they were replaced or replicated. So now you have a beautiful period property but designed for modern day living. It also provides amazingly flexible accommodation to suit a variety of requirements and makes an ideal multi-generational home. If you have adult children or independent teenagers there is a whole floor they can enjoy. If you have elderly relatives who find the stairs difficult or you need a suite of offices, there is a separate area on the ground floor that could easily be adapted to provide a delightful annex and if you enjoy indoor and outdoor entertaining the superb drawing room and stunning gardens offer the ideal ambience.It is only about a minute’s walk from the seafront and the mile long clifftop promenade known as The Leas with its panoramic views across to France as well as a Victorian bandstand, access to the Lower Leas Coastal Park and the Leas Cliff Hall. It is also within easy reach of Sandgate and Folkestone town centre, two mainline stations, the M20 and the Channel Tunnel.The property is set very far back from the road with a driveway leading to the garage with an inspection pit and a pedestrian gate that opens onto a pathway to the main entrance, flanked by hedges and vast swathes of level lawn, part of which could be adapted for additional off road parking. It is at this stage that you can begin to appreciate the L shaped house’s external charm with its high chimneystacks, white walls contrasting with the red roof and multi-pane casement windows. While internally there is the original staircase, original wood floors and fireplaces with open fires, coved ceilings and renovated sash windows at the rear.The period front door opens into the very spacious reception hall with a cloakroom that includes the original basin and the oak staircase. It is large enough for guests to gather for cocktails before moving down the corridor into the fabulous dual aspect 32.2ft drawing room. This very special room includes a pair of original inset shelving units with patterned glass doors, a large curved bay window and a superb fireplace with a sculptured surround and a beautiful marble inset and hearth as a delightful focal point. There is an adjacent sitting room that also includes a double inset shelving unit with original patterned glass doors, a fireplace with a tiled surround and a door to the rear garden.Another special place and where the family spend much of their time is the kitchen/dining room with a large bay incorporating a stable door to the rear terrace. This light and bright dual aspect space includes a Belling range cooker and flat fronted glossy white units with Corian worktops, a dishwasher and space for an American fridge freezer as well as a central island/breakfast bar. There is also plenty of space for a large dining table adjacent to the original fireplace with inset tiles and a sculptured surround.Beyond the kitchen/dining room is a door to what was originally the butler’s domain. This area now includes a scullery, a home office with a charming little fireplace and a good sized family room that used to be the original kitchen and still includes the original kitchen cupboards. There is also a large boiler room, a useful wet room, a utility facility, rear door access to the garage and a back door to the garden. As this is basically a separate area with its own independent external access it could easily be converted into a spacious annexe and even the garage could become part of the accommodation.The beautiful oak staircase with its carved newel posts leads to the galleried corridor on the first floor. Here you will find a family bathroom with a stand-alone oval bath, a separate toilet and three double bedrooms with views over the beautiful rear garden. These include a large dual aspect double with a fireplace, a full height mirror and a seating/study area, another with a fireplace and a third with a deep fitted cupboard. While the stunning main bedroom has a large bay window, a fireplace and a door to a very large dressing room that could always be used as another bedroom or may be partly converted to include en suite facilities. This floor also includes a good sized study/hobby room that could be used as another bedroom with its adjacent vaulted ceiling storage room that would make an excellent en suite bathroom.The staircase to the second floor was built as an exact replica of the original even down to the newel posts. It leads to the spacious second floor with its galleried landing, plenty of eaves storage and a large storage cupboard. There is a bathroom with a spa bath, vanity basin and a wet room style shower, a second wet room and three double bedrooms with Velux windows providing stunning views over the garden and beyond. These include one at the end of a corridor that could be a sitting room as this floor would make a great ‘hideaway’ for teenagers or adult children looking for a bit of independence and somewhere to entertain their friends.Beautifully landscaped and secluded rear gardens greet you as your walk outside onto the spacious crazy paved terrace. This is ideal for barbecues and al fresco dining as well as just relaxing in the sunshine enjoying the delightful vista in front of you or looking back at the impressive rear exterior of the house. There are curved steps up to a crazy paved path flanked by delightful shrubs and flower beds and a large fishpond as well a spacious level lawns interspersed with shrub beds, mature trees and fruit trees with the original brick wall on each side of the garden.
