Some houses are about square footage. This one is about how it feels.

Set on Ramsgate’s West Cliff, this two-bedroom mid-terrace has been completely reworked into something far more interesting than its fairly modest exterior suggests.

Downstairs, virtually every internal wall has gone. In their place is one huge open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, carefully engineered with extensive steelwork and signed off through the proper channels. The result is brilliant. Exposed brick, deliberately rough edges, a beaten-up chimney breast and black Crittall-effect doors opening straight onto the rear all come together to create something with real character. It has more of an Islington warehouse feel than a traditional Ramsgate terrace.

Upstairs keeps the same confidence. Two beautifully finished bedrooms sit alongside an enormous bathroom with a roll-top clawfoot bath, oversized shower and plenty of room to breathe. It feels indulgent without trying too hard.

There is some history here too. This small run of houses lost their original roofs during the war, hence the flat roof you see today. The current roof was replaced around six or seven years ago and was designed with an expected life of approximately 25 years.

The house has also appeared on Homes Under the Hammer more than once, and the current owner would probably admit that what started as a cool holiday-home project became something of a labour of love. A lot has been spent here, and you can feel it in the finish, the scale and the way the whole place hangs together.

Walk out of the front door, turn left, and within moments you’re on the cliff top overlooking the Royal Harbour, with the Western Undercliff and promenade stretching away nearby.

Holiday home, first purchase, downsizer or simply somewhere properly different to live, this one works.

No chain. We have the keys.

Don’t hang about.
