Timber by the Sea

Timber by the Sea: Kent

Families and couples will settle right in at this lovely three-storey house, minutes from play parks and Margate's sandy coast. This home's unique personality is evident in its reclaimed wood furnishings, along with the main bedroom's eye-catching clawfoot tub. The massive window in the open-plan living area lets in plenty of natural light, while the skylight in the top-floor bedroom lets you drift off under the stars. You'll find the centre of Margate a breezy stroll away, but if you don't feel like walking you can hop on the Loop bus service just down the road to reach Margate Beach, the Dreamland Amusement Park, and the Turner Contemporary Art Gallery.

Home truths:
*There is space to park for free outside this home.
*The bedrooms have hanging rails rather than wardrobes, so we recommend packing light.
*The outdoor space at the front of the house isn't fenced to separate it from the home next door, and it's overlooked by surrounding buildings so won't feel fully private.
