Westbrook Gardens, Margate, CT9

Presenting this impressive and highly versatile period home, arranged over four generous storeys and located just a stone’s throw from the sandy shores of Westbrook Beach. Set within a quiet yet exceptionally well-connected location, the property is perfectly positioned to enjoy Margate’s renowned art scene, independent cafés, galleries, and cultural venues, offering a lifestyle that blends relaxed seaside living with creative and urban energy.
The lower ground floor, accessed via its own independent entrance, offers excellent flexibility and is currently utilised by the owners as a successful holiday let, providing a valuable additional income stream. This level comprises a double bedroom, modern shower room, cosy sitting room with patio doors opening onto the courtyard, and a contemporary fitted kitchen. The floor can be temporarily separated from the main house, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or continued holiday letting.
The main residence, arranged from the upper ground floor upwards, is rich in period charm and character, boasting high ceilings, elegant fireplaces, and beautifully proportioned rooms throughout. The home has been stylishly updated by the current owners, one of whom is a local artist, lending the property a subtle yet distinctive creative feel that complements the wider artistic character of the area. The upper ground floor features a superb open plan lounge and kitchen/diner, enhanced by a large bay window with plantation shutters, alongside a versatile utility/studio room, ideal for creative work, home office use, or additional storage.
On the first floor, a particularly spacious double bedroom spans the full width of the property, benefitting from a large bay window, high ceiling, feature fireplace, doors to a balcony, and plumbing in place for a potential en-suite. This room could alternatively be used as an elegant sitting room. A further well proportioned double bedroom and a stylish family bathroom complete this level.
The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms and an additional shower room, providing ample space for family living or guest accommodation.
Externally, the property enjoys a private courtyard garden, featuring bespoke decking, a walled enclosure for privacy, and rear access, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
