Start living life in the slow lane with this beautiful Italian-inspired property.

This four-bedroom home in Birchington-on-Sea has been built with the Amalfi Coast in mind, with architecture reflecting the current owner’s love of relaxed living.

Its unique curved walls, striking tower and grand pillars are all inspired by Italian design to create a truly one-of-a-kind home right here in Kent.

While the big selling point of this property – on the market for £1.75 million – is its unusual exterior, there are plenty of impressive features inside.

The seaside home features four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en-suite and powder room, a spacious kitchen and breakfast room, and open-plan lounge with a marble fireplace and three hand-painted faux marble effect pillars.

If you are a fan of entertaining, you can also welcome your guests to the, maybe not so Italian, billiard room, and pour them a glass of red or white from your very own wine cellar.

With so many magnificent features, including the granite staircase, grand mahogany doors, crystal chandelier and curved windows with spectacular sea views, this home is a true slice of Italian elegance.

This continues into the gardens, which boast a sweeping courtyard, delightful water fountain and a well-maintained lawn.

For those who are looking for even more outdoor space, this villa is situated in a small, pleasant park and is just a stone’s throw from the sandy shoes of Minnis Bay.

The shops and restaurants of Birchington-on-Sea and the Thanet coast are also only a short drive away, including towns such as Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs.

Enjoy a tranquil slice of Mediterranean life every day with this stunning beachside home.
