Set within a handsome Victorian terrace, this four-bedroom house unfolds across three generous storeys, with over 1,500 sq ft of internal space and an unusually flexible arrangement of living and sleeping accommodation.

The house retains a pleasing simplicity. Timber floorboards run through much of the ground floor, while tall ceilings, broad proportions and an abundance of natural light provide a backdrop for the owners’ collection of antique furniture, textiles and objects.

At the front, a bay window draws light into the principal reception room. The space extends for almost the full depth of the house, creating distinct areas for sitting and dining without interrupting the sense of openness. Its warm timber floorboards and restrained palette give the room an easy, characterful feel.

The kitchen lies beyond, arranged in a practical galley configuration with timber cabinetry and generous stretches of worktop. There is space for a dining table at its rear, while a glazed opening leads directly into the conservatory. Used as an additional sitting room, this forms a particularly useful transition between house and garden, with large areas of glazing bringing daylight deep into the plan.

Doors open from here onto a substantial walled courtyard garden. Extending to approximately 30 ft, it is paved for easy maintenance and feels notably private, with old brick walls giving texture and a sense of enclosure. There is ample room for outdoor dining, planting and seating.

The bedrooms are arranged across the upper two floors. The first floor has two generous double bedrooms, one with its own WC and basin. A large family bathroom is also found on this level, alongside a separate shower room.

Two further double bedrooms occupy the top floor. One has an en-suite bathroom, making the upper level particularly well suited to guests, older children or those looking for some separation between sleeping spaces. In total, the house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an additional separate shower room – an unusually generous provision for a house of this scale.

There is also a cellar extending beneath much of the house, providing around 120 sq ft of additional storage.

Externally, the house forms part of an attractive run of Victorian terraces, its stock-brick façade articulated by red-brick detailing and a projecting bay window. The muted green paintwork to the bay and front boundary gives the house a distinctive but understated presence on the street.

The result is a substantial and adaptable Margate home: Generous without feeling formal, with good natural light, useful outdoor space and a layout capable of accommodating family life, guests and working from home with ease.

The Area

Oxford Street sits in Cliftonville, just inland from Margate’s coastline and within easy reach of both the sea and the town centre. The neighbourhood has developed a strong identity of its own in recent years, centred around Northdown Road and its growing collection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and galleries.

Northdown Road is close by, home to places including The Good Egg Neighbourhood Restaurant Margate and Cliffs Cafe, alongside independent food shops, vintage stores and everyday amenities. The wider neighbourhood has a particularly active creative community, with galleries, cultural spaces and the Tom Thumb Theatre all contributing to Cliftonville’s character.

The seafront is also within easy walking distance, opening onto the beaches and coastal promenade that run between Margate and neighbouring Cliftonville. Further east is Walpole Bay and its remarkable Grade ii-listed tidal pool, while Margate Old Town, the Turner Contemporary and the main sands are readily accessible in the opposite direction.

Transport connections are good. Regular Loop and 8-series buses run along Northdown Road, connecting Cliftonville with Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Canterbury. Margate railway station provides direct services towards London, including St Pancras and Victoria.
