Edge of Heaven

Edge of Heaven: Kent

Oh, we do like to be beside the seaside, especially when the homes are as pretty as this. Part of a grand Victorian building positioned next to a square from the same era, the apartment benefits from period features such as the ornamental fireplace and a big bay window that lets in ample amounts of natural light into the living room. It also means that it's possible to see the coastline from the dining table. The furnishings fit into the current trend for mid-century influences, while the kitchen and bathroom are each dazzlingly white. If the sunshine makes an appearance, you can walk fifteen minutes to Margate's main beach or Walpole Tidal Pool, and go for a dip. When it's raining, why not head to the Turner Contemporary art gallery instead?

Home truths:
*There's free parking available on the street
*There's no elevator in the building and there are steps within the home, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*The host requests that no shoes be worn inside the home
*There's no desk but there's a laptop-friendly workspace on the dining table
