The house is nicely decorated with good furniture and a new, clean kitchen. It's a great location, five/ten minutes' walk from most of the stuff you'll want to do in the centre of town. Easy to park.

Very easy to walk to from the town in around 10-15 mins and good value for money. The house is finished nicely and everything went as planned. It was really nice to have tea and coffee (and milk!) available on arrival.

Neighborhood info

Located on a quiet residential road, it is a one way road so not much passing traffic. You can usually get a parking space on the road. The street is an eclectic mix of young professionals, retired couples and families. On a Sunday afternoon you'll come across children riding bikes in the street, running out for the ice cream van and families chatting in the street. It's all very old fashioned and typical of Cliftonville's mix of different groups. We are two minutes walk from Shell Grotto, the famous Scott's Reclamation Store is at the end of our road. Northdown Road with convenience stores, coffee shops, cafes and antiques/refurb furniture is only a 2-3 minute walk. There is an Aldi 10 minutes walk from the property. You can reach the beach within 5-10 minutes walk, a minute from the Ubur cool Cliftonville centre (Northdown Rd) and Margate town takes about 10 minutes stroll. If you love wild swimming the famous Walpole Bay Tidal Pool is around a 20 minute walk (see photos for inspiration). Margate is buzzing, we have so much happening in our town. From concerts at Dreamland, The Turner Gallery, The Old Town, fabulous restaurants, bars, music venues and cafes popping up all over the place. The art scene is really strong, inspired by Tracey Eminen, you can spend hours looking around the many art shops and galleries located around Margate. Cliftonville is officially the coolest neighbourhood to live (TimeOut) and you reach this area within about a 10 minutes stroll. Here you'll find Uber cool cafes, a treasure trove of reclamation shops, furniture shops and Aldi! If you need to pop out for supplies, Northdown Rd - there you'll find shops/chemists/bakers/butchers etc. Oh and the beach, Margate Main Sands - 10 minutes walk. Just as easy to get to are the many other beaches dotted along the coastline. Look up Louisa Bay, much quieter in peak season and just as beautiful.
