" 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.
