London Road, Ramsgate, Kent

Built in 1910, this attractive Edwardian detached residence has been modernised and extended but is still full of period features. These include exposed beams, oak panelled walls, oak doors and shutters, the original oak staircase, wood flooring and Edwardian fireplaces. It is within easy reach of the town centre, seafront, marina, excellent schools and the station, where fast trains to St Pancras take less than an hour and a quarter.

There is a driveway where you can park a couple of cars, flanked by a lawn and shrub beds and access to the front porch and the inner oak front door. This opens into a hall with banquette seating, an understairs cupboard and a cloakroom and access to the ground floor accommodation. This includes a study and the sitting room with a brick fireplace and stained glass windows as well as French doors to the sun lounge that has large patio doors to the wraparound terrace.

The delightful dining room includes French doors to the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room. This has a seating area and access to the terrace, a hexagonal breakfast bar, a range cooker and shaker style units with black marble worktops housing various appliances and an adjacent utility room.

The first floor includes a large storage and boiler cupboard, access to a boarded attic, a family bathroom and four double bedrooms. One is currently an office, another has a box bay window, built in wardrobes and a third includes fitted cupboards. The main bedroom features a shower room, a walk-in wardrobe and French doors to a large south facing balcony with sea views.

The secluded easy-to-manage south facing rear garden has a lawn bordered by shrubs. There is a garden shed, a gravel seating area and a summerhouse containing a large Jacuzzi.

What the Owner says:

This has been a wonderful home for the past eight years and, as it is set well back from the road, it is quite quiet and peaceful. We love being able to stroll into the town with its independent shops, high street stores, salons and supermarkets or wander down to the marina and harbour area with its bars and restaurants or take in a show or film at the Grandville Theatre. There are also plenty of places to cycle, walk the dog or enjoy the large sandy beach with the kids. Ramsgate includes the excellent Chatham House and Clarendon Grammar school, St Lawrence College and a number of outstanding primary schools.
We are not far from the local bowls and croquet clubs and the sailing fraternity can moor their boats at the marina while there are also numerous golf courses and clubs nearby.
