What the Owner says:

We thought this would be our forever home and we updated the kitchen and bathrooms accordingly but our circumstances have changed so we are moving closer to family. We love the peaceful surroundings and access to local parks and the seafront while the shops in Northdown road provide for all our immediate necessities. We are near a local pub/restaurant and Margate Old Town is awash with artisan shops, galleries, cafes and eateries as well as the Turner Gallery and Dreamland. Cliftonville and Margate provide a variety of independent shops, high street stores and supermarkets, a hospital and the fast train from Margate station can take you to London in under an hour and a half. Cliftonville primary school is Outstanding and there are local secondary schools as well as grammar schools in nearby towns.
