We fell in love with the location and the style of the property that provided the flexibility we needed and during our time here we have created the annex, installed new bathrooms and replaced the windows. Although we are close to the Westbrook Bay beach and have the advantage of local shops such as Tescos virtually on the doorstep, it is very quiet along our road. It is only a short walk to Margate town centre along the seafront where you will find the charming Old Town with its trendy shops, bars and restaurants as well as the Turner Gallery and Dreamland. It is even nearer to the station where the high speed train can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half. Just a stones throw from us in Westbrook Bay, a new development funded by Tracey Emin is underway, Westbrook Loggia will include a community bathers club with café, hot showers, toilet facilities, sauna and winter club room, a large art studio, gym and restuarant.
Kids will enjoy the wide sandy beaches and access to the Strokes Adventure golf course, while good educational facilities are available with well-respected primary and secondary schools in the vicinity.
Westgate town centre is not far away with its unique parade of individual, canopied shops as well as Indian and Chinese restaurants and Blue Flag St Mildred's and West Bay. There is a very good and inexpensive local cinema as well as a bowls and tennis club while the Westgate and Birchington golf club is easily accessible.
