Wow. That’s what we said when we stepped out onto the wraparound terrace of this penthouse apartment in Margate. The views out over the sea and the town are the undisputed highlight of this home, which is part of the redevelopment of Margate's Sea Bathing Hospital complex. But that’s not to say there aren’t other great reasons to stay. We loved the whirlpool bath in the master bedroom for that special romantic touch, and the minimalist design style with its bright '60s-style prints and artworks – a nod to the town’s heritage as a mid-20th century holiday spot, perhaps? In the latter half of the 1900s, Margate was considered to be somewhat rundown but now with the arrival of the Turner Contemporary art gallery, plenty of good restaurants and the reopening of Dreamland amusement park, it’s very much back on the up. All these highlights are right on your doorstep at this home, while the trendy Old Town – full of old-fashioned pubs and vintage shops that capitalise on the town’s retro charms – is just a 15-minute walk away. Make the most of Margate at this lovely flat and we bet you’ll be wowing too.

Home truths
This home is set on the quieter side of Margate, so you won't be right in the centre of the action
It probably goes without saying but this isn't one for those who are scared of heights
The closest big upmarket supermarket is a 15-min drive away
Seaside location means that gull droppings on the roof terrace can be an issue
While very appealing with a strong minimalist style, this is not a home for a perfectionist as there is some wear and tear

About Margate
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.
