What the Owner says:
We moved here 10 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed restoring the house to its former glory, including replacing the roof, enhancing the patterned ceilings, installing replacement windows and updating the swimming pool. The location is ideal with uninterrupted views across the clifftops and the sea and only a three minute walk to Palm Bay beach. We have easy access to local supermarkets and it is not far to the centre of Margate with its famous Main Sands, Dreamland Amusement Park and the Turner Contemporary art gallery, while the Old Town offers interesting eateries and quirky shops. There are also hotels in the town while for sporting enthusiasts there are football, cricket and tennis clubs and golfing aficionados can play at the North Foreland or Birchington and Westgate golf clubs.

Fast trains from Margate station can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half and there is easy access to the Thanet Way. Good primary schools are available in the vicinity, while the various Thanet towns provide very good secondary, grammar and private education.
