A substantial and highly energy-efficient five-bedroom detached residence in the sought-after location of Pean Hill, just moments from the bustling seaside town of Whitstable and within the catchment area for Blean Primary School.

Claremont is a charming 1930s home that has been thoughtfully extended and reimagined by the current owners to create a versatile and spacious residence, ideal for modern family living.

The main lounge stretches an impressive 23 feet and flows into a second sitting area, which is partially open to the rest of the accommodation and benefits from French doors that open directly onto the rear garden.

There is a double ceramic sink complete with Franke tap offering instant boiling and filtered water. The space is finished with stylish metro tiles and a rich granite worktop, which continues seamlessly across a large central island. The adjoining dining area enjoys views over the south-westerly facing rear garden and is filled with natural light via another set of French doors.

To the west wing of the house, there is a versatile family room that could easily serve as a guest suite or small annexe. It has its own access through the utility room, as well as access to the garden and is conveniently served by a ground floor WC.
