Monkton Street, Monkton, CT12

Is there such a thing as the perfect home? A place, imagined, where everything is unspoiled and flawless. Sir Thomas More, the English humanist from the 1500s, who went in search of a utopia, would have, geek are sure, declared this home in Monkton Street what he had been searching for!

For this seemingly traditional Victorian double fronted villa, is no ordinary home. Its current keepers have marinaded every morsel of this plot, with an attention which supersedes the everyday and have crafted a version of utopia, which will leave you awe struck. If you favour space, condition and intelligent thought over price per square foot, geek know the numbers do not add up, but this house is so much more than numbers!

Your sensory journey begins as you sweep up your manor style driveway, feeling rather grand, and which takes you to the parking area tucked up to the left of the exceedingly generous garden and next to the extensive raised decked area, fully equipped with a cave, every man dreams of! This aspect of utopian living has been fully cultivated by the current owner, and you can even continue in his footsteps to sip your Amstel beer on tap. Presently, there is a jacuzzi, salubrious seating areas, and a ……., on the decked area; a charming spot for both repose and socialising.

The present owners have both intelligence and fastidious perception for valuing the properties origins and our modern desires and needs. Their meticulous eye and appreciation of human needs means the interior cares for our fancies. The design of the kitchen; the feel of the wood beneath your feet and the serenity of the sitting room, are experiences, which bring pleasure. Every room has its own carefully curated source of blissfulness.

The top floor has been transformed through a female lens, and an atmosphere of an exclusive boutique has been captured and personalised. If you are a lover of clothes, fashion and accessories, then you could have found yourself a little slice of feminine heaven. Of course, you may wish to alter the spaces’ usage, and if it’s a fifth bedroom you are after, then before you can call it as such, a retrospective mandate will need organising. (Aka building regulations.) Fear not, the design aligns with the necessary, we have been reliably told, but without the evidence, the space must remain nameless! Nothing a deep breath and a call to the planning department won’t solve. But this space, (from a female perspective) is rather distinctive and very cool.

The main bathroom is decadent, refined and elegant; the ambience a perfect blend of sanitary and sanctuary with the forest green walls, and a ‘ludicrously capacious’ tub, juxtaposed with the shower’s industrial style block tiles. With a nod to the past, the walls retain refurbished partial wood panelled walls complimented with a timeless marble Italian inspired floor.

A mere taster of some of Monkton Street’s utopianism; geek entreat you to step of the planet of Thanet and into your own utopia… and the main gateway to the rest of the world is parallel to your village.
