Internal photography coming soon.
Arguably the coolest location for central Ramsgate living; in geek’s eyes this property amplifies cool on many levels.
Built in 2013 to 2014, the designer Madison Brown created a row of homes, which captured the essence of Ramsgate architectural past, paying huge homage to Pugin, with its castle castellations, extraordinary wide front doorway, and its garden gates. It is striking.
Built upon what was a Victorian tearoom, and then later a second world war bomb site, this ground is steeped in history, which has been preserved in the architecture and design of these seven buildings.
It graciously blends with its surroundings, such as Liverpool Lawn and Adelaide Gardens ensuring the aesthetic of this part of Ramsgate remains beautifully conserved. Number 2, known as ‘The Serene Retreat’, has been aptly named. For it feels just like that, as it retreats from the harbour, but the view is direct, and in a sense, you feel removed from the rest of the world, despite the central location.
The garden area is to the front of the property, which means it is facing south, so the sun streams, (when it’s out!) on the frontage, and you can revel in its warmth on those summer evenings.
The current owner uses the first floor master bedroom as her workspace, which means you can draw lasting inspiration from the sea; or of course, you may wish to use this space for an alternative usage, perhaps an upstairs sitting room depending on your needs. On the top floor you will find a further two bedrooms.
Downstairs is an open plan space for everyday living and chilling; there are exquisite patio doors, which lead to the garden space, which really enables the space to be flooded with natural light and beauty. A utility area to hide the necessities and a downstairs WC.
If you are looking for a retreat, but want to be near the town, the harbour and the beach, then, geek, would suggest you take a look at this intriguing home.
Presently, the interior is rather busy with a big collection of items; they are being organised and packed up ready for the photos – so watch this space!
