A lovely atmosphere

in a home that is easy to fall in love with

A wonderfully surprising home with so much potential and that lure of a large workshop with planning permission for a detached dwelling. Some homes transport you to a different place and this is one of them. It is like a best kept secret, tucked out of sight it is a real surprise to find and once you walk into its embrace the sense of calm is wonderful. Unassuming at first glance as you approach there is a charm that reveals itself as you wander through. A fabulous history, it was originally a thatched flint barn the owners believe, in later life it became three cottages. It is now a rambling single home with a character all of its own. It was once part of an estate owned by Canterbury Cathedral and archives provide details of the property’s past.

It’s hard to believe you are in a town

Three separate staircase remind you it was once three cottages. Wander through the ground floor rooms and it seems naturally one home. The outside space adds to the delight of being here. Enclosed, the garden space is like a magical courtyard, watched over by the beautiful flint facade it can give the impression that you are within a time bubble and the world outside feels distanced. It is a home of opportunity too. The large workshop on the opposite side of the courtyard has planning permission to be converted to a single storey dwelling. It could be a fabulous annexe if two families are looking to move together yet retain independence. For the owners it has been a superb workshop and the next owners may continue that tradition or possibly turn it into garaging for a car collection, the choice is yours.

The harbour area has a buzz and is eye catching

Each room has a distinct character Ramsgate is a town that is appearing more and more in people’s awareness. A delightful harbour area provides a centre of interest that has an intimate and picturesque quality. London St Pancras can be reached in as little as one hour and fifteen minutes by high speed train. Ramsgate is the country’s only Royal Port and, thanks to its position on the coastline enjoys a southerly aspect. It is a place of rich history, one that obviously revolves around water and is celebrated in the Maritime museum. Augustus Pugin the renowned architect had a strong influence on the town and you can search out his works as you wander around. There are beaches to discover, country walks to enjoy around the area and you can take a boat trip to see seals. If you know Ramsgate already then you’ll be aware it is one of the county’s up and coming areas. If you don’t know it yet, then this is the perfect opportunity to discover why so many are lured here. This is a home for the romantic, for the artist, and for the person wanting to get a sense of privacy without being isolated: it is a home for someone with vision. There are any number of great reasons why you should consider living here and we really look forward to discussing them with you.

A fireplace just seems to make somewhere home.

Not just a kitchen...

Staircase and ‘gallery’

Homes like this make furnishing and decorating so much fun.

The bedrooms are all individual and charming in their own ways. Like the rest of the house they all feel different and that uniqueness is just part of the joy of living in an older home, no uniformity here. There’s scope for change too, some may think of bringing the first floor rooms into one, it’s an idea you can explore.

A super cottage kitchen

Who wouldn’t love the idea of sleeping in a Roundel?

Charming and interesting

Those flint walls peek through and make your heart flutter

The workshop is a perfect hideaway for the man of the house. There are any number of uses it can be put too.

Enclosed all around the garden is a space that seems to transport you to a different world. Walnuts off the tree have provided many happy hours of pickling and storing over the years for the owners. There are lots of different spots to sit and enjoy a moment

with a book and a drink. It’s garden than can be contemplative and active. It’s home that you discover, you have to know it’s there and once you’ve found it you’re unlikely to want to leave. ■

If you’re seeking somewhere with an annex for family to join you then the planning permission on the workshop can provide a superb opportunity
