Harbour House, built in 1875, is one of the finest landmark properties overlooking the historic Royal harbour and beyond to the Goodwin Sands, the Kent coastline and France in the far distance.
Occupying arguably the most prominent, elevated position adjacent to the Royal Temple Yacht Club this substantial property has been, in recent years, the subject of an extensive, yet sympathetic remodelling under the direction of specialist conservation architects Del Renzio & Del Renzio.
This wonderful, unlisted property, which lies within the Ramsgate Conservation Area, now provides highly adaptable, independent but interconnecting accommodation on three floors with an independent annexe to the side. The interior design is fresh and personalised, with the conservatories providing a crisp modern aesthetic.
Though lightweight in appearance, user comfort is achieved by incorporating high-tech vacuum insulated panels, spectrally selective glazing and natural ventilation. Other materials include exposed original brickwork, Green Zinc, Ipe hardwood for flooring and joinery, glass, mirror, stone and slim aluminium sliding door frames.
The accommodation is luxurious with elaborate attention paid to the quality of fittings, kitchen units and decorative finishes, including Trompe L’oeil paint effects in a number of rooms and wetrooms.
One cannot understate the setting, with spectacular 180 degree panoramic views over the harbour and along the Kent coast to Deal and beyond from many of the principal rooms.
Approached from Cliff Street, a pedestrian gate opens to a small, enclosed garden and steps to the front door which opens to a substantial hall with the original tessellated tiled floor, a fine balustraded staircase to the first floor, access to a bathroom and a separate door to the ground floor apartment
The Ground Floor Apartment
This fine apartment comprises a long hall with doors to a superb kitchen/dining room opening to a conservatory which in turn provides access to the sitting room and the extensive terrace, a large double bedroom with ensuite wet-room, a second double bedroom with wash basin, a further room, currently an office but with potential to create another bedroom with secondary door to outside, and a utility room.
The First Floor Apartment
Approached by the original, balustraded staircase, the first floor apartment comprises a cloakroom, beautiful library, a single bedroom, utility room, kitchen/breakfast room with conservatory and terrace, double bedroom with ensuite wet-room and dressing room, a further double bedroom with an ensuite wet-room.
The Annexe
Adjoining to the side of the principal accommodation is a self-contained annexe comprising a sitting room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom.
Returning to the front entrance there are steps through the small garden to the garden floor.
The Garden Floor
Formerly a doctor’s surgery, this area comprises a series of storerooms and workshops, cloakroom, a photographic studio and kitchenette. Certain rooms have been let in the past on licence to local artists and craftspeople. All enjoy good ceiling height and have extensive modern electrical and lighting systems in place.
In addition, there are two extensive roof space areas offering further potential.
Outside
To the front of the property is an enclosed garden with a variety of shrubs and herbaceous borders. Steps lead to the raised ground floor and also to the garden floor.
To the seaward side of the house is an extensive, private terrace bounded by Grade II Listed railings. Access may be gained directly from the kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor, or via a locked gate and series of steps shared with the Royal Temple Yacht Club. This terrace is held on a separate, full repairing and insuring lease of 125 years from 12th February 2014.
