The property at Beacon Hill was exactly what the current owners
were looking for. It was most importantly, on the seafront and the
plot of land was big enough for them to demolish the existing
property and start from scratch, building the house of their
dreams.'Simply because it was opposite the sea, 100%', replied the
vendors when asked why they bought the original property. 'We were
driving along the road and saw it was for sale, so made an
appointment to view straight away, we had a look and made an offer
immediately'.So what makes the property unique? For one thing, it
is exceptionally eco-friendly. The windows and walls have both been
specifically designed to keep heat inside and underfloor heating,
zonal heating controls and a log burner keep the house particularly
cosy. 'The heating isn't even on and yet the thermostat is telling
me it's 25?C', comments the owner. There's also solar tubes on the
roof that can't be seen but manage to heat all the water for the
property. What else? The views really are stunning and you see
right across the sea all the way over to Southend and the famous
Maunsell Forts. 'Every night, we look out across the sea, you can
see the reflection of the setting sun on the wind farm and watch as
the boats head towards the marina. During summer, the bay comes
alive with regattas and it's great to watch the races'. It's easy
to see why the current owners fell for such an idyllic spot.
Finally it has a truly modern and open plan design with clever
partition walls that can be closed to create a number of individual
reception rooms.When you approach the property, it stands out from
the neighbouring houses as an extremely smart and contemporary
house, with its white walls and windows framed in dark grey. The
defining feature has to be the double height window and balcony
that fills the apex and creates a neat porch above the front
doors.This striking look continues as you enter the double front
doors and you're immediately greeted by a minimalist staircase and
an impressive double-height ceiling. 'At Christmas, the galleried
landing looks lovely with all the decorations', mention the current
owners, who love having such a grand hallway. As you continue
through, you'll find the cosy sitting room which leads onto the
beautiful kitchen. Fitted with pale quartz worktops, deep violet
drawers and gloss cream cupboards, the kitchen mirrors the modern
look of the rest of the property. It also features an exposed
brickwork wall and a built-in glass dining table with low-hanging
lighting, which both bring a warm touch to the room. From here, you
can open the bi-folding doors and walk straight onto the garden.As
if a reflection from the interior of the property, the garden has
different zones that all flow seamlessly onto each other. A patio
spans the back of the house and there's more than enough room for a
dining area and a lounging area. For those warm summer days that
surprise you with a quick shower, there's a canopy area so you can
dine outside even if the weather isn't on your side. You can then
join the decking which runs along the back of the garden and is
sheltered by tall conifers and in the middle there's a neat lawn
and shrubbery boarders for that pretty finish.The house is just
perfect for entertaining and five years ago; once the property was
built, the owners threw a party for 200 guests the very next day to
celebrate. With so much space on offer, both inside and out, the
party didn't even feel cramped.When asked about the location it's a
no-brainer. 'We would love to stay in the area if we can, we like
being able to walk along the beach and into Herne Bay. It's so up
and coming and you can easily get to Canterbury and
London.'Location:This spectacular property is situated in one of
the area's most beautiful, exclusive and desirable locations.
