Families and couples will settle right in at this lovely three-storey house, minutes from play parks and Margate's sandy coast. This home's unique personality is evident in its reclaimed wood furnishings, along with the main bedroom's eye-catching clawfoot tub. The massive window in the open-plan living area lets in plenty of natural light, while the skylight in the top-floor bedroom lets you drift off under the stars. You'll find the centre of Margate a breezy stroll away, but if you don't feel like walking you can hop on the Loop bus service just down the road to reach Margate Beach, the Dreamland Amusement Park, and the Turner Contemporary Art Gallery.

One of the earliest Victorian seaside resorts, Margate was one of the top spots for a summer holiday in the country for a long time. Until, that is, the rise of the cheap package holiday in the seventies. Now, after a few years in the wilderness, this little town is back with a bang.
