This substantial 5-bedroom family residence, part of a historic private estate, presents excellent renovation and investment opportunities. With over 2,800 sq ft of living space plus an additional 775 sq ft of loft area ripe for conversion (subject to planning permission), this home offers considerable potential for value enhancement. Nestled within a quiet courtyard that features remnants of a medieval manor, the property is surrounded by a fortified estate dating back to the 15th century, highlighted by an impressive Grade II* listed gatehouse that adds both charm and historical significance to the setting.
Designed in the 1980s, this unique Oast-style residence retains original character while offering a versatile layout tailored for contemporary living. The ground floor includes four reception areas: a formal lounge featuring an exposed brick fireplace, a dining area with convenient WC access, a bright family room with direct garden access, and a snug that could serve as an optional sixth bedroom. The generously sized kitchen/diner comes equipped with modern granite worktops and bi-fold doors leading out to the wrap-around garden.
The first floor comprises five well-sized bedrooms; the principal suite includes built-in wardrobes along with three additional double bedrooms and a smaller fifth room suitable for use as a nursery or study. Two bathrooms provide ample facilities for family needs.
Noteworthy features include the sizeable loft space which is already insulated and boarded—ideal for creating additional bedrooms or enhancing living space subject to the right permissions—and a detached converted stable currently serving as an office. The mature garden offers serene views toward the historic gatehouse, alongside ample parking options provided by a garage and driveway.
Set within peaceful surroundings yet just moments from Margate's vibrant town center, this property is ideally situated near schools, parks, and public transport links—making it perfect for long-term family living. An exceptional opportunity awaits to develop and personalize this home further while enjoying its rich history and community-oriented environment.
