What the Owner says:
We chose this house because it has a warm and friendly atmosphere and plenty of character. We are close to the Walpole Bay hotel, the indoor and outdoor bowls club and the tennis courts. It is only a short walk to the shops in Northdown Road or we can stroll down to Margate seafront, Dreamland, the Old Town shops and restaurants and the Turner Gallery. Alternatively we wander along to Botany Bay and the North Foreland golf course.
The nearby Thanet Way provides easy access for London and Canterbury, while fast trains from Margate station can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half.
