Setting the Scene

Seagulls occupies one of the most prestigious positions within the North Foreland Private Estate—Broadstairs' most exclusive clifftop address. This secure, gated community offers privacy, coastal tranquillity, and private access to one of Kent's most beautiful shorelines.

With panoramic sea views, beautifully landscaped gardens, and direct access to a string of Blue Flag beaches, Seagulls is a statement home—offering both luxurious everyday living and serious long-term investment potential.

Take a Look Inside

Set across two expansive floors and measuring approx. 3,641 sq ft, this detached residence offers a considered and versatile layout ideal for multi-generational living or entertaining at scale.

Ground Floor:

The ground level includes five bedrooms and the principal living and entertaining zones directly connected to the garden and pool area.

The principal suite (15'11" × 13'8") includes a private en-suite bathroom and is positioned for peace and privacy.
A striking living and bar area (17'5" × 22'3") opens out via French doors to two aspects of the garden—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
There are four further bedrooms on this floor, along with a family bathroom and utility room.
A single garage is attached to the property but is accessed externally only, with no internal connection to the house.

First Floor:

Upstairs, the layout is designed to make the most of the spectacular sea views and outdoor terraces.

A sixth bedroom is located on this floor, along with a further family bathroom.
The main family room (18'9" × 20'2") features superior ceiling heights and sliding doors that open onto a generous roof terrace, taking full advantage of the coastal setting.
A dining room (13' × 12') opens onto a second elevated terrace overlooking the garden and pool.
The standout space is the kitchen–diner (17'5" × 22'3"), which opens directly onto the 15' × 28' sea-facing roof terrace—perfect for sunrise breakfasts or summer entertaining.

The Outside Story

The house is set within substantial, landscaped gardens with mature planting and generous lawned areas. The rear garden is arranged for both relaxation and entertaining, with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, and island bar with seating.

A swimming pool and hot tub form the centrepiece of the outdoor space, with multiple access points from the main house. Above this zone sits a detached outbuilding (32' × 9'9"), offering excellent potential as a guest annex, studio, gym, or work-from-home retreat.

The Lifestyle

Seagulls isn't just a home—it's an introduction to the Broadstairs way of life. This coastal town has long been a destination of choice for families relocating from London and the South East, drawn by its sense of community, outstanding schooling, culture, and exceptional natural setting.

For education, Broadstairs offers a selection of high-performing schools at both primary and secondary level. St Mildred's Primary Infant School and Upton Junior School are both highly regarded locally, while The Charles Dickens School and Dane Court Grammar School have strong reputations and excellent results. For independent education, Wellesley Haddon Dene, an established private prep school in Broadstairs, offers a well-rounded curriculum and nurturing environment. Nearby St Lawrence College in Ramsgate also provides a full independent school offering from prep through to sixth form.

Commuters benefit from easy access to Broadstairs railway station, within walking distance of Seagulls, with high-speed services to London St Pancras in around 1 hour 14 minutes—ideal for balancing city working with coastal living.

When it comes to leisure, the location is exceptional. You're moments from the North Foreland Golf Course, local riding schools, rugby club, tennis courts, and a wide range of coastal walking routes, suitable for casual walkers or dedicated ramblers. The Viking Coastal Trail offers one of the most scenic cliff-top walking and cycling experiences in the country.

Broadstairs itself has a vibrant year-round cultural scene. The town hosts the legendary Folk Week Festival, the annual Soul Festival in Margate, and a growing calendar of seasonal events, markets and food pop-ups. Charles Dickens famously spent his summers in Broadstairs, and his former residence, Bleak House, still sits proudly above Viking Bay. The Dickens House Museum celebrates this literary legacy and adds to the town's enduring cultural identity.

The town benefits from its own unique microclimate, offering more sunny days and milder weather than much of the UK. On clear days, the view from the cliffs stretches across the Channel, and France is often visible on the horizon.

In short, this is a location with both heart and substance—a truly special place to grow a family, work from home in peace, or enjoy retirement by the sea.

The Opportunity

Seagulls is being sold with the benefit of two granted planning consents, offering substantial potential for redevelopment, subject to the buyer's intentions.

One scheme allows for the construction of a three-storey building comprising eight self-contained two-bedroom apartments with underground parking, following demolition of the existing house.

The second scheme grants consent for the creation of three contemporary detached homes, designed with a modern coastal aesthetic. CGI visuals and plot plan and all details for this scheme are available on request.

Both permissions are live and fully approved by the local authority. For further details or access to supporting materials, please contact me directly.
