Tivoli Rd, Margate, 2 Bed. House

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

Right opposite a small park with its trees and open space, this Victorian terrace feels both timeless and lived-in—full of charm but pleasantly grounded. The ground floor still wears its original hardwood floors, softened by time and footsteps, while a curved wall in the hallway adds a quiet elegance.

The galley kitchen makes clever use of space, keeping everything within easy reach before flowing into the dining area and out to the garden—an expansive stretch of greenery waiting for whatever you want it to be. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms; the second is the perfect size for a nursery, spare room, or home office, all framed by those lovely old doors and built-in cupboards that give the house its sense of story.

Step outside and you’re minutes from Margate Main Sands, the Old Town, and the Turner Contemporary. Alfie’s Fish & Chips remains a Tivoli local’s secret, and Dreamland’s live music is temptingly close for those late summer nights that might spill into the morning. The station's a short walk away too, for when London calls.

THE OWNERS SAY

This is a lovely house that we have carefully modernised and restored to its original Victorian style. Tivoli is a wonderful neighbourhood in Margate; close to the town centre and local services, and with a welcoming community feel.
