Description

PLEASE QUOTE REFERENCE RP1132

Guide Price: £1,000,000 – £1,200,000

CHAIN FREE

An exceptional opportunity to own a substantial Georgian residence set on the nation’s only Royal Harbour.
Occupying a prime position on the prestigious Nelson Crescent, this Grade II listed townhouse extends to over 4,100 sq ft internally and offers an extraordinary combination of grand family living, self-contained annexe accommodation, and a detached two-bedroom coach house.

Commanding uninterrupted sea views from its front-facing rooms and chinoiserie-style balcony, the main house unfolds over four elegant storeys with four principal bedrooms, open planned kitchen and living area over looking those spectacular views,, and period details preserved and celebrated throughout. To the rear, a walled garden leads to the coach house and two separate single garages, which can also be accessed from Addington Place.

This is a rare chance to acquire a home of remarkable scale and flexibility in one of Ramsgate’s most historic and beautiful crescents — an address celebrated for its architectural integrity, its storybook sea views, and its proximity to the vibrant life of Ramsgate town and harbour.

Setting the Scene

Built at the turn of the 19th century, Nelson Crescent epitomises the finest traditions of Georgian seaside architecture.
The terrace’s striking façades, distinguished by their pagoda-style balconies, ornate ironwork, and classic white stock brick, reflect a period of great civic pride during the Napoleonic era, when Ramsgate rose to prominence as a garrison town and later a fashionable resort.
Today, Nelson Crescent remains one of the town’s most sought-after addresses, with its wide gardens buffering it from the coastal road and its sweeping views over the ever-changing Royal Harbour and English Channel beyond.

The main attraction

The main house welcomes through an impressive classical doorway framed by wrought-iron railings. Inside, the accommodation is beautifully proportioned, with high ceilings, original fireplaces, panelled doors, and wide sash windows capturing glorious light and panoramic sea views.

The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise flexibility:
- The first floor, in keeping with the piano nobile tradition, hosts a grand drawing room opening onto the full-width balcony — the ideal stage to take in the commanding harbour and coastal views, also featuring a spacious kitchen. With a large island,  with all modern appliances. 
- Four generously sized bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, complemented by multiple bathrooms, offering an elegant principal suite and flexible family living.

Beneath the main house, a self-contained one-bedroom apartment provides private living quarters for guests, extended family, or short-term letting opportunities. With its own entrance, kitchen, reception room, and bathroom, it offers complete independence while retaining a connection to the main residence if desired.

Set behind the main garden is a detached two-bedroom coach house, offering yet more scope for multi-generational living, creative workspace, or valuable rental income — a rare asset in any coastal property.

Outdoors

The rear garden is a secluded and sunny space, framed by historic brick walls and offering both a quiet retreat and a practical connection between the main house and the coach house.
Beyond, two single garages are accessed from Addington Place — a huge advantage in this central coastal location — offering private parking, storage, or further development potential (subject to planning).

Keeping it Local

Living on Nelson Crescent means waking up to mesmerising sea views, strolling to pavement cafés and restaurants within minutes, and enjoying all the cultural energy Ramsgate now offers.
The historic Royal Harbour — the only one of its kind in Britain — is steps away, with artisan shops, independent galleries, and celebrated eateries lining its quayside. Ramsgate’s burgeoning food and arts scenes are matched by excellent travel connections: Ramsgate Station provides high-speed rail links to London St Pancras in just over an hour.

Nearby Broadstairs and Margate offer additional coastal attractions, from Michelin-starred dining to the Turner Contemporary gallery and Dreamland amusement park. Some of Kent’s best beaches, countryside walks, and farm-to-table restaurants are within easy reach, making this one of the most desirable lifestyle destinations on the South East coast.

The Opportunity

Rarely does such an expansive, versatile, and characterful property come to market along the Royal Harbour seafront.
With over 4,100 sq ft of internal space, multiple independent dwellings, private parking, and sea-facing outside space, this home represents a remarkable investment both in lifestyle and long-term value.
