THE LEGAL BIT
While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
BRICKWORKS SAYS
This five-bedroom Victorian home in Ramsgate is a celebration of space, light, and character. Its architect-owners have opened up and extended the ground floor to create a fluid living environment built for modern life. Original features abound, while the sweeping staircase—with its subtle curves and carvings—threads the home together with a quiet drama that captures your attention.
The kitchen is the beating heart of the house: a vast island that combines style and function, ready for Sunday breakfasts, homework sessions, or a relaxed evening with friends. In the dining area, a wall of windows and double Fabco Sanctuary Crittall doors open onto a Mediterranean-inspired deck and garden, complete with the sweetest little brick outbuilding and plenty of space to grow—in every sense. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, blending the home’s period personality with contemporary comfort.
Ramsgate itself feels naturally welcoming and continues to evolve creatively amid its distinct backdrop of Georgian and Regency architecture. The beach is just a happy stroll away, the station's not far either, and local pubs, cafés, and independent shops make this a seaside town that’s both lively and truly charming.
THE OWNERS SAY
This is a unique house due to its wide south-facing back garden. It could easily be turfed to make a more open area for families, and the outbuilding holds potential as an office or studio. The utility room and cellar provide practical areas for families, too—and very handy storage. You'll come to appreciate the driveway, as a parking spot is a valuable bonus in this area.

Recent work:
The ground floor and upper roof areas have been fully insulated to bring the house up to modern-day standards. A new flat roof area and roof light above the dining table bring daylight into this area. Mandarin Stone tiles and unlacquered brass fittings by Crosswater can be found in all bathrooms.
A solid wood, hand-painted kitchen and island were installed, topped with quartz work surfaces and paired with two ovens. The ground floor was laid with durable LVT flooring—chosen with family life in mind—and a Millboard deck was added to the rear. The new extension was finished with Fabco Sanctuary Crittall doors, and the original zinc roof cornicing was carefully restored.
Getting around:
Ramsgate station is a 15-minute walk away, from where trains to London St Pancras take 1 hour 17 minutes. Thanet is well served by buses, with regular links between Ramsgate, Margate, Broadstairs, and the surrounding villages. Most services are operated by Stagecoach, whose handy ‘Dayrider’ ticket gives unlimited hop-on, hop-off travel for the day. At the centre of the network is the Loop, running between Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate every 8–10 minutes, all week.

2 Ramsgate Music Hall
The Ramsgate Music Hall has built a solid reputation, even winning NME's Britain's Best Small Venue award in 2015. Music halls and small theatres play a vital role in building and strengthening communities. We know this more than ever as one of our team–the amazing Sara–runs the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate. Through speaking to her, we came to understand the often unexpected ways they interact with and support local people.
3 Penelope
Everyone needs a place like Penelope in their lives. Its unpretentious, low-lit, and welcoming vibe is backed up by outstanding natural wines, craft beer, and a wide selection of 0% options. Penelope's co-founder, DJ Breese, regularly welcomes guest spinners to showcase their record collections. Open Thursday to Sunday.
4 Pegwell Bay
Pegwell Bay is a geological gem, and the nature reserve is of international importance. Its coastal habitats are unique to the South East of England, offering a chance to glimpse wading birds and birds of prey, including Peregrine Falcons and Avocets. With stunning views of Sandwich and Deal to the west and the cliffs of Ramsgate to the east, it is a great place to walk or cycle.
5 Fruits de Mer
If you want the best, freshest fish, go to Jason at Fruits de Mer in Broadstairs. These were words said to us on our first trip to the Kent Coast many years ago. And while the world has changed a lot since then, this advice still stands today.
