Further into the property, a light-filled conservatory offers additional dining seating, ideal for enjoying meals with a view of the garden. Further along is the light and spacious kitchen fully equipped for all your culinary needs. Also with a small table to share a cuppa at breakfast. There is a utility room next to the kitchen with a washing machine to take care of your washing. Next to this is a WC which completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, you'll find four well-presented bedrooms, each offering a peaceful space to rest after a day of exploration. The first is a relaxing king-size room with an en-suite shower room, followed by two neatly presented double rooms. The final bedroom is a twin, perfect for children or friends sharing. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and a walk-in shower, providing a choice of how to prepare for each day.
Outside, the garden has a patio area with plenty of furniture and a sunshade umbrella, great for eating and drinking in the garden on a sunny day. There is also a wicker lounger further up the garden with another table and extra garden chairs. There's a small wildlife pond at the bottom of the garden which is fenced off with 2 gates. The smaller gate will be padlocked and the bigger gate has a wooden latch high up out of young children's reach. This is a nice place to sit and relax and enjoy watching out for dragonflies, frogs and listening to the birds, or just wind down after a busy day exploring.

Margate, a seaside holiday resort set on the east coast of Kent, has undergone much renovation, and boasts the new Turner Contemporary gallery. This historic seaside town, with its Theatre Royal dating back to 1787, offers entertainment for everyone, from fishing and golf to beaches and amusements. The Winter Gardens offers a wide variety of events including shows, concerts and musicals with top performers throughout the year. You can wander along the Margate Harbour Arm and Old Town to browse artists' studios, relax in one of the many bars or restaurants or hire a bike. For the more adventurous there is a Turner and Dickens walk taking you to Broadstairs four miles away. The Shell Grotto, with its 2000 square feet of winding underground passages, delights visitors while the Hornby Visitor Centre brings back the nostalgia of Britain's best loved toys. Dreamland is also worth exploring with any little ones or those in search of old fashioned fun, with its traditional seaside attractions and vintage fairground.

It's a great location for quick access into central Margate (walk/bus/taxi) and it is even closer to the beach and the Margate marine pool. Thank you and well come again.
Tracey
The house is beautifully decorated (we spent a long time just looking at all the different pictures and artwork around the house!) and everything you could possibly need for a fantastic stay is provided . The leaflets and info for local attractions were helpful and my mother enjoyed spending her evenings working on one of the jigsaw puzzles provided, she only wished we stayed longer so she could finish it! The house was very clean and warm, and the beds were all very comfortable. We will definitely stay again if we are back in the area
Jane
Indoor spaces worked well for our family gathering. Particularly comfortable beds and tidy rooms allowing for putting clothes away. Large dining room and lounge. Enjoyed most meals in the bright conservatory. Area was quiet and parked outside house. Easy walking to the seafront, old town and to join the coastal path. Bus stop at bottom of road. Helpful information left by the owner. Extra touches of biscuits and ice creams.
