We have thoroughly enjoyed refurbishing this property including rewiring, replumbing, installing a new boiler two years ago and creating the kitchen as well as landscaping the front garden while still retaining the wonderful period features. There is also the opportunity for new owners to develop the property further by perhaps incorporating the garage as additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The house is in a very convenient location as it is just a 12 minute walk to Ramsgate station where the fast trains can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and a quarter. We can also stroll into the town centre with its independent shops, high street stores and hair and beauty salons as well as supermarkets including Waitrose or wander down to the marina and harbour area with its variety of bars and restaurants. There is also the large sandy beach while you can enjoy walking or cycling along the Esplanade or the East Cliff to the George VI memorial park, which is a great place for a dog walk or if you are not so energetic you can always see a show or film at the Granville Theatre.

For older children there is the excellent Chatham House and Clarendon Grammar school as well as St Lawrence College and for younger members of the family there are a number of outstanding primary and prep schools including Chilton, Holy Trinity and Newington primary schools and Wellesley Hadden Dene and St Lawrence prep schools.

here are plenty of opportunities for sporting enthusiasts to enjoy a variety of activities. We are not far from the local bowls and croquet clubs and the sailing fraternity can moor their boats at the marina and enjoy the facilities at the Royal Temple Yacht club. If you play golf, there are numerous courses and clubs nearby including St Augustine’s and North Foreland as well as the Princes and St George’s championship courses at Sandwich while Broadstairs includes rugby and cricket clubs.
