Postcard from Margate

Postcard from Margate: Kent

Uninterrupted sea views take all the glory at this grade II listed Georgian apartment. Placed right in the heart of vibrant Margate and just steps from the beach, its central location impresses too. Inside, the interiors fuse vintage with contemporary to perfection – much like Margate itself. Kids will love the bunk beds in the adjoining secondary bedroom –⁠ connected to the master suite with a nifty sliding pocket door. While over in the main bedroom, a king-sized bed is positioned 'just so' to take in those ever-changing sky and sea views. And for those looking to work remotely, there is a separate desk space should you need to squirrel yourself away for a while. When the beach outside calls, pack up the apartment’s buckets and spades and stride straight out onto the silk-sanded shores (if you time the tide right). Or take a mosey along the promenade down to the Instagram-friendly kitsch amusement park, Margate Dreamland (sixteen-minute on foot), for a hefty dose of seaside nostalgia. When it’s time for something a little more cultured, the Turner Contemporary Gallery should do nicely –⁠ it’s just a seven-minute walk away. Or delve into the Old Town’s beguiling streets –⁠ packed with vintage shops, happening restaurants, and charming cafes. Just be sure to make it home for dusk. Watching the famous Margate sunset as you come together for pre-dinner drinks and board games is a memory to be made.
