Take a Look Inside

Look up as you approach — the original front door still stands proud, complete with a beautiful stained glass window that catches the light just right. Step inside and you're greeted by a traditional walk-through hallway, fully laid with original parquet flooring that sets the tone for the character throughout.

To your left and right are two spacious double bedrooms, each filled with natural light from those curved bay windows at the front. Further along the hall, on the left, you'll find the main lounge — a large, inviting space with French doors that lead straight out to the patio and garden beyond.

Head back through the hallway and at the rear you'll find a newly renovated bathroom, a separate boiler room, and then the kitchen, which sits at the right-hand side of the house. From here, there's access out to the garden via a handy side return.

The layout flows beautifully and every space is fully functional — it's all usable right now, but ready for someone to come in and elevate it with modern updates and personal touches.

What You Need to Know

This detached, double-fronted bungalow boasts serious kerb appeal — fresh lime mortar pointing, elegant curved bay windows, a smart brick boundary wall, and side access both ways. The plot is generous, and the garden? That's the real headline.

It's C.100 feet long, south-facing, and backs directly onto a vast local park — complete with tennis courts, open green spaces, and no rear neighbours. It's private, sun-soaked, and unusually spacious — one of those rare gardens that offers everything: Room to extend, room to grow, room to play, or simply room to enjoy.

Inside, the house is part-finished and full of potential — 'ready for your vision'

Setting the Scene

Set on a quiet residential road, the home already stands out for all the right reasons. The exterior's in great shape, and although the inside needs some finishing, the bones are brilliant: Generous proportions, natural light, and that show stopping garden out back.

You're also in a seriously convenient spot:

Just a short stroll to high-speed train links to London
Within catchment for Ofsted Outstanding primary schools
Surrounded by multiple secondary schools and grammar options
Walking distance to the beach
Parkland quite literally on your back doorstep

The Outside Story

The garden is the real scene-stealer — over 100 feet, south-facing, and backs directly onto the park. There's a large patio for entertaining, a solid brick outhouse (ideal for conversion into a utility room, guest suite, or garden office), and side access from both ends of the garden. It's private, peaceful, and packed with potential.

The Lifestyle

Living here means more than just a great house — it's a brilliant lifestyle too:

Nightlife & Dining: From independent bars and pubs to cosy cafes and seafront restaurants, you're minutes from the vibrant food and drink scenes of Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate.
History: Charles Dickens loved Broadstairs — he spent many summers here, and even wrote parts of David Copperfield at Bleak House, which still overlooks Viking Bay today.
Coastline & Walks: You're within walking distance of Viking Bay (yes — a Blue Flag beach), as well as several nearby bays. The Viking Coastal Trail offers scenic walking and cycling routes connecting Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate.
