If kitchens sell houses, then this Kent property won’t be on the market for long. Homes & Living took a look.

The parties need never end in the 22ft kitchen/breakfast room of this 1920s cul-de-sac home in Folkestone.

The high gloss lacquer units, in cream, are by German designer Haecker and incorporate a dishwasher and wine cooler.

Work surfaces are made of Corian, an increasingly popular man-made material from the United States, which is non-porous, stain resistant and appears seamless, as joints can be made invisible.

There is a double sink unit and a large central island incorporating a breakfast bar area.

The kitchen has overhead Italian lights, recessed down lighters and a porcelain tiled floor.

Leaded light casement doors open to the large terrace dining area and an internal door leads to a utility room.

The five-bedroom house, at Pelham Gardens has a separate dining room, a drawing room, a further sitting room and study. There are decorative fireplaces and stripped and stained wood floors.

A downstairs cloakroom opens from the hall.

Three of the five bedrooms have en-suites and the family bathroom is newly fitted, with travertine tiling, underfloor heating, bath and large shower.

The fifth bedroom is currently laid out as a dressing room for the master suite and has extensive built-in wardrobes.

Outside there is a garage with space at the back for a caravan or motorhome, there is also a workshop, heated greenhouse and two timber sheds.

The property has a large and pretty garden that is mainly lawned with fruit trees and vegetable plots. In the west end of Folkestone, it is within walking distance of the high speed rail link and the Leas Promenade.

Sally Jinks of Smith-Woolley and Perry said: “This is a substantial detached home offering spacious and well-proportioned accommodation, which has been extensively modernised to create a bright and stylish home. A limestone fireplace with granite hearth has been added to the drawing room and a sleek contemporary gas log effect fire fitted in the sitting room.

“The property has also been redecorated throughout internally and externally.”
