If you're a fan of sea views — and who can really say that they're not? — this Margate apartment will really sing to you. There are some really soothing coastal vistas out through the large sash windows in the living room and bedrooms. That's not to say, however, that the home is a glorified viewing platform. The renovated interior is bright and contemporary, with walls adorned with artworks and furnishings bearing a mid-century influence. In the kitchen, the oak dining table is a little rustic in feel, but the subway tiling and range of gizmos place it well and truly in the present day. Once you're done complimenting the home, you can head out and explore the riches of Margate. The Kent town's main beach is seven minutes' walk due west, but Walpole Tidal Pool is a quarter of an hour's walk in the other direction. If the weather's not up to spec for an afternoon at the seaside, the Turner Contemporary Gallery is well worth a visit and is only six minutes away on foot.
