The Clock House Cafe, Ramsgate Royal Harbour, Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 8DS

Location

Ramsgate is a vibrant coastal town within the Thanet District with a population of approximately 42,000. Steeped in maritime history and regency architecture, the town offers sandy beaches, coastline scenery and heritage attractions, all connected via HS1 with journey times to London in around 1 hour.

The property is to be constructed adjacent to The Clock House, a Grade II* listed building situated at the entrance to the East Pier and East Cross Wall in Ramsgate's Royal Harbour. With its original construction dating back to 1817 it forms one of the only remaining historical harbour buildings and plays a key role in the heritage offering of the town.
