BRICKWORKS SAYS

This five-bedroom Victorian home in Ramsgate is a celebration of space, light, and character. Its architect-owners have opened up and extended the ground floor to create a fluid living environment built for modern life. Original features abound, while the sweeping staircase—with its subtle curves and carvings—threads the home together with a quiet drama that captures your attention.

The kitchen is the beating heart of the house: a vast island that combines style and function, ready for Sunday breakfasts, homework sessions, or a relaxed evening with friends. In the dining area, a wall of windows and double Fabco Sanctuary Crittall doors open onto a Mediterranean-inspired deck and garden, complete with the sweetest little brick outbuilding and plenty of space to grow—in every sense. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, blending the home’s period personality with contemporary comfort.

Ramsgate itself feels naturally welcoming and continues to evolve creatively amid its distinct backdrop of Georgian and Regency architecture. The beach is just a happy stroll away, the station's not far either, and local pubs, cafés, and independent shops make this a seaside town that’s both lively and truly charming.

THE OWNERS SAY

This is a unique house due to its wide south-facing back garden. It could easily be turfed to make a more open area for families, and the outbuilding holds potential as an office or studio. The utility room and cellar provide practical areas for families, too—and very handy storage. You'll come to appreciate the driveway, as a parking spot is a valuable bonus in this area.

Recent work:
The ground floor and upper roof areas have been fully insulated to bring the house up to modern-day standards. A new flat roof area and roof light above the dining table bring daylight into this area. Mandarin Stone tiles and unlacquered brass fittings by Crosswater can be found in all bathrooms.

A solid wood, hand-painted kitchen and island were installed, topped with quartz work surfaces and paired with two ovens. The ground floor was laid with durable LVT flooring—chosen with family life in mind—and a Millboard deck was added to the rear. The new extension was finished with Fabco Sanctuary Crittall doors, and the original zinc roof cornicing was carefully restored.

Getting around:
Ramsgate station is a 15-minute walk away, from where trains to London St Pancras take 1 hour 17 minutes.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
