Gibraltar Lane, Hawkinge, Folkestone, Kent, CT18

This property lives up to its name with probably one of the most panoramic vistas the along the southeast coast, providing views over the North Downs to the sea and across to France. This large detached five bedroom family home was originally built by a property developer for his own use, so has been constructed to the highest standard with some fascinating individual features, but he sold it on to the current owners in 2002. It has a charming exterior and is approached via a wide block paved driveway for off road parking bordered by hedging and a lawn that wraps around the property.

The partially double height hall includes an airing cupboard, a galleried landing overlooking the hall, dado rails, stairs to the first floor and a vast cathedral style window. There is a study, a spacious dual aspect lounge with multi-pane French doors to the side patio, an impressive brick fireplace and glazed doors to the dining room that also has French doors to the patio, a coved ceiling and dado rails. The superb contemporary kitchen/breakfast room designed by Vegas kitchens includes a central island/breakfast bar, a range cooker, Shaker style units with composite worktops housing various appliances and an adjacent utility room.

This floor also has a family shower room and two double bedrooms with one having an en suite bathroom. While on the first floor there is a cloakroom and three double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and Velux windows including the first bedroom with superb views, an en suite bathroom and a single bedroom/dressing room. The loft area above the garage has proper flooring with full height joists.

The secluded garden has closed board fencing on three sides, a large rear terrace with a pergola covered seating area, a greenhouse and a large store room behind the double garage that could become an office/studio.

What the Owner says:

“We love the house, the view and the peaceful environment but it is time to downsize. Hawkinge is a friendly place with a football, cricket and social club, four pubs, takeaways, a restaurant and Lidl supermarket, a dentist and a doctor. The M20 is only a minute's drive for London, Dover and the Channel Tunnel while trains from Folkestone West will whisk you to London in 53 minutes. There are two primary schools in the village and grammar schools in Folkestone and Dover rated Outstanding by Ofsted."
