Full Description: <p>Flip-flops on. In less than two minutes, you’re on Broadstairs pier with a plastic glass of Chardonnay or Campo, watching your little rugrats dig holes and eat seaweed. Won’t touch broccoli at home. Happy to eat something a crab’s slept in.</p><p>First-time buyer money. Right in the thick of Broadstairs. A traditional three-bedroom house, currently arranged differently. We’ll get to that.</p><p>The last house on Alexander Road before the allotments. Cliff top seconds away. Harbour Street, through the arch, onto the pier. Restaurants within a lazy saunter. You could nip home between courses</p><p>Lovely life. Now for the house.</p><p>Nobody appears to have troubled it with a paintbrush for forty or fifty years. It needs a complete refurbishment. If your DIY kit consists of a scented candle and a bloke’s number, have a proper think.</p><p>There’s also the upstairs layout to consider. The owners adapted it around their mobility needs, installing a lift and converting what would normally be the second bedroom into a bathroom that also houses it. It’s currently arranged around a bedroom with en suite facilities, rather than the traditional three-bedroom layout.</p><p>The house changed to suit the people living in it. Perfectly sensible. Restoring the three-bedroom arrangement would mean removing the lift and reworking the upstairs, with some alterations required. Put that on the project list, somewhere above arguing about taps.</p><p>Downstairs, there’s a huge lounge diner, a good-sized cellar and a small, enclosed courtyard garden. Somewhere to sit with a drink while you discuss why the plasterer hasn’t turned up.</p><p>This could be a seriously cool home. Getting there will involve dust, money and the occasional disagreement in a kitchen showroom.</p><p>And before the investors arrive to announce that it needs work: yes. That was our first clue too.</p><p>It’s priced accordingly. Spare us the theatrical sighing and the calculator.</p><p>The real appeal is to someone who thought a family house this central was out of reach. Someone prepared to tackle the work, take their time and make it theirs.</p><p>You might spend the next two or three years sorting the house.</p><p>You’ll spend considerably less time getting to the pub.</p>
