Fabulous Chic Abode

Less than 500 metres from the UK's only Royal Harbour, this beautiful holiday home puts you right in the heart of historic Ramsgate. Wander to the water's edge, and you'll see luxury yachts moored in a marina that's lined by an enticing selection of bars and eateries. Beyond the harbour wall, the beach is backed by family-friendly amusements. Make time to explore the Ramsgate Tunnels, a subterranean system used to shelter 60,000 people during WWII air raids. Keen walkers and cyclists can follow the Viking Coastal Trail, which runs along the coastline from Ramsgate to Herne Bay, taking in the pretty town of Margate (5 miles), famous for its Turner Contemporary Gallery. Alternatively, visit Broadstairs (2 miles) to discover its connections to Charles Dickens. For a spot of retail therapy, Westwood Cross (2 miles) is one of Europe's largest retail parks.

Inside, this fabulous three-bedroomed abode boasts chic, cosmopolitan styling and plenty of space for any party of six. On the ground floor, an open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner sets the scene for companionable time together. At one end, the kitchen has all the must-haves of home, and is conveniently close to a striking dining suite. A pair of inviting sofas are arranged before the TV; stretch out and catch up with your favourite programmes, or choose an LP from the vinyl selection for some old-school sounds. Vibrant artwork on the walls and bold splashes of colour accentuate the holiday atmosphere. A cloakroom and a utility cupboard complete the convenience of the ground-floor layout. Upstairs, the first floor features a king-size room with its own en-suite shower, and a second king-size room with a zip-and-link bed which can be converted into twins, instead, on request. There's a family shower room at this level, while the second floor has a third king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

Fully-glazed doors fold open from the lounge area, allowing effortless access to a small, private courtyard garden which acts as a suntrap for much of the day. A door at the other end of the courtyard opens onto what would once have been the service lane for the terrace and is now a pretty area with garden seating and seasonal planting. Unrestricted on-street parking nearby is subject to availability.
