What the Owner says:

We were delighted to acquire this fascinating building, designed by renowned architect Edgar Ranger in the 1920s, as it is in a great location in a spacious plot. The property was in a somewhat parlous state so it has been a privilege to transform and extend it to become the ultimate contemporary luxury family home but incorporate wonderful character features to reflect its historical association including flint wall inserts, superb fireplaces, sculptured coved ceilings, skirtings and door lintels, panelled doors and patterned cast iron radiators while externally we have retained original features including fascinating chimneystacks and patterned brickwork. Modern features include black aluminium windows, inset ceiling lighting, CCTV cameras, built in surround sound and a remote control system.
Broadstairs is a charming Victorian resort with individual shops, beaches, bars and restaurants as well as a station with fast trains to London, annual events and sports clubs including golf, rugby, cricket, tennis and bowls. Local education facilities are second-to-none with grammar and junior schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted and excellent private prep and secondary schools in the vicinity.”
