Nelson Crescent, Ramsgate, Kent, CT11

The comprehensive restoration of this beautiful Grade II Listed house has created a luxuriously appointed home offering a fantastic lifestyle on the coast. The property has been styled from top to bottom with great attention to detail using understated yet sumptuous design, providing great comfort whilst at the same time allowing the original features to be suitably showcased.

Grantham House sits within Nelson Crescent, a landmark terrace of handsome properties overlooking the Royal Harbour and marina at Ramsgate. From this vantage point the house enjoys mesmerising views over the hustle and bustle of Ramsgate Harbour and the marina, against the back drop of the sea and the distant French coastline.   

The handmade kitchen is arranged around a large quartz-topped island providing a sociable space flooded with light and enjoying stunning views through tall sash windows. Finished with stylish brass hardware, the kitchen has a timeless style balancing traditional and contemporary detail. A well fitted boot room and utility provide great storage.

As well as an intimate sitting room adjacent to the kitchen, the traditionally positioned first floor drawing room has three sets of French doors through which this beautiful entertaining space spills on to the cast iron balcony. Filled with light and with high ceilings, this elegant room enjoys magnificent views.

The bedrooms are tranquil retreats served by sleek bath and shower rooms. The principal bedroom to the front has a dressing room and a beautifully fitted bathroom provides a luxurious sanctuary.


The lower ground floor has a good-sized entertaining room and cork floor providing a warm, contemporary finish. The bedroom has French doors leading outside where steps rise to the courtyard garden. There is a bathroom and the former cellar room provides storage.

Located on the East Kent coast, Ramsgate is noted for its fine Georgian architecture. During the 18th and 19th Centuries, the town was a well-known destination for affluent families to 'take the sea air'. The harbour is especially picturesque and the area offers numerous restaurants and bars as well as a good variety of shops, including a Waitrose and the stores at the Westwood Cross shopping and leisure complex. Further leisure, cultural and educational facilities can be found in Canterbury.   

Ramsgate has a mainline station providing a fast service to London St Pancras (from 75 minutes). Access to London by road is via the A299 Thanet Way onto the M2/A2. There is a wide range of services to the Continent from Dover and Folkestone.

The first-floor balcony gives wonderful vantage point from which to enjoy views across the Royal Harbour and sea beyond. To the rear of the house, a courtyard garden provides a sheltered spot in which to relax and entertain.

A gravel driveway with double wooden gates to the rear provides an invaluable parking area.
