We moved here about 20 years ago because we loved the character of the property and the nearness to the sea. We have tried to retain as many original features as possible but have put in double glazing and the conservatory where we spend much of our time. However, for health reasons we are having to downsize. It is very quiet and peaceful and we are only a two minute walk from the clifftops and blue flag beach at Botany Bay and not far away is the quiet Kingsgate Bay or Joss Bay for surfing and paddle boarding or the local riding stables for horsey enthusiasts.

We are within walking distance of the North Foreland Golf club for golfing aficionados and if you want a drink or a meal without having to take the car out there is the Botany Bay hotel or the Captain Digby restaurant and the Nineteenth Hole pub. A regular bus service takes you around Thanet on the Loop and there is a useful convenience store nearby. Broadstairs town centre is only a five minute drive with its mainline high speed rail service that can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half, a wide variety of individual shops, bars and restaurants and a number of annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. There are also excellent education facilities with Outstanding primary and grammar schools as well as first class private schools in the area.
