A modern five-bedroom house featured in a glossy magazine is now on the market.

The detached house in Whitstable, now up for sale for £2.2m, was not only featured on the pages of Build It Magazine, but was shortlisted for an award for its bespoke design.

The current owners were closely involved in the conception of the home, which is now a contemporary property that combines modern family life with countryside living.

The property features five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a full width window, walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, and four bathrooms.

There are three reception rooms, one of which is a large family room with sliding doors opening out onto the terrace.

In addition to the usual rooms, there are a number of special touches that make this home a truly unique property.

The home gym and adjoining shower room, floating wood and glass staircase, and walls of glass that bring the views into the house are all exceptional features.

And, speaking of views, the property is in an elevated position with access to spectacular views inland, including open farmland and charming woodland in the distance.

To make the most of the outdoor space, the current owners have created raised banks that surround the terrace, as well as an upper lawn, sheltered courtyard and structural plants, all continuing the modern style of the interior.

The semi-rural location could be considered the best of both worlds; it’s close to the Thanet Way and the much-loved seaside town of Whitstable with plenty of shops and bars, but is situated on the outskirts of town and surrounded by countryside.

This property can be found at Clapham Hill in Whitstable.
