About this property

Victorian Town House Sleeps 12, Overlooking Blue Flag Sandy Beach

This house is a large and well equipped Victorian town house arranged over four floors. We renovated the property in 2013 and this included new bathrooms, kitchen, heating, decoration etc.

We hope the pictures give a flavour of the high standard to which the the property has been renovated.

The house sleeps up to 12 people in 6 bedrooms. However the house is arranged so that it is also possible to be used as 2 fully separate units:

Firstly, a 4 bedroom house with 2 ensuite shower rooms a family bathroom and further shower room and cloakroom. The house also enjoys a large dining room opening into a modern kitchen, a large and elegant first floor sitting room (with covered verandah and sea views) and a separate family TV and games room, which opens out to the rear garden.

Secondly, a 2 bedroom apartment, complete with 2 ensuite shower rooms, a large open plan sitting room/kitchen and a small self contained rear courtyard.

There is an full internal staircase which links the house when used as a whole but which can be locked off top and bottom when the apartment is not rented with the main house.

As well as a generous first floor living room, there is a well appointed kitchen leading into the dining room. There is also a ground floor play room and a door leads out from this room into the garden.

Key Features

*Sleeps up to 12

*6 Bedrooms (4 with ensuite showers)

*Additional bathroom and shower room

*Family friendly

*Opposite a sandy Blue Flag beach

*Free WIFI / broadband access

*Walking distance to all amenities

The house has been furnished to a very high standard and is large and spacious, able to sleep up to 12 people in 6 bedrooms. It is designed to appeal to:

*Large family groups or extended families

*2 families sharing

*Groups of friends wanting a spacious house to share

It is not suitable for stag/hen weekends or for groups under the age of 25.



Practicalities

Please note that the property is laid out over 4 floors with the sitting room on the 1st floor.

There are steps up to both the front door and down to the door to the lower ground floor apartment

The house is well equipped for children of all ages and there are two travel cots to use during your stay. In addition, there is a highchair, booster seats and toys suitable for toddlers, which means that you don’t need to completely fill the car with babies’ or children’s bits and pieces!

For older children, there are games and puzzles as well as a separate ground floor family room equipped with large flat screen TV, video and games console. The room is tucked away at the rear of the house and has its own access into the rear garden

Living Space

Main Living room - This high ceilinged sitting room is at the front of the house, on the first floor. It is a bright and spacious room with superb sea views and French doors leading to the verandah. It is furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs providing a relaxing place to unwind.

The room also has the benefit of a large screen TV, DVD player, and hifi system with Ipod dock.

Family Room - There is also a separate family room on the ground floor which comes equipped with large flat screen TV, video player, games console and sofa. There is also a table football and surround sound hifi system with ipod dock

Kitchen & Dining

For many, one of the main hearts of a house is the kitchen. This is certainly so at the Sea View House, with the spacious modern kitchen providing the hub and connecting to the equally spacious dining room through large double doors. The kitchen is well equipped and includes:

Gaggia automatic espresso coffee machine

Food processor, toaster and kettle

Microwave oven

Large American style fridge freezer with automatic ice maker and separate wine & beer compartment

There is also a plentiful supply of pots pans utensils bowls etc to ensure that you really can cook almost anything during your stay.

Outside there is an outdoor table and chairs to ensure that you can make the most of warm and balmy days on the coast.

Adjoining the kitchen and accessed via interconnecting double doors is the dining room. This room has a large modern table which seats 12 people comfortably. There is also sufficient crockery cutlery serving dishes and glasses to accommodate even the largest groups

Kids & Equipment

With 3 children of our own, we know how stressful holidays can become if the children’s requirements are not met. We also know how difficult it can be to travel with everything needed, particularly for toddlers and babies.

That’s why we have tried to include a variety of things to make your stay easy. As well as the well equipped family room, you will also find (if you need them):

2 X travel cots

2 x High chairs

Cancellation policy:
Our cancellation policy is based on fairness and we do not seek to benefit from anyone's misfortune but we have to protect our income and be able to pay our costs. The VRBO policies are too prescriptive for a large home and so we operate our own policy.
We recommend that those booking take out a UK based travel insurance policy.
Within 8 weeks of stay - up to 90% will be refunded if the nights are resold. In the event of a pandemic style lockdown then the stay will be rescheduled.
Over 8 weeks notice - loss of deposit paid (30% of holiday costs). If the nights are resold then 90% of the deposit would be returned too.

Great stay
We were a group of 7 staying for 2 nights. Property was super clean, really warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for an excellent stay. Jacqui was a great host and very accommodating and responsive to questions. Location is good, right the seafront and walking distance into town. Highly recommend

This is the second visit to this property with my family - it didn’t disappoint the first time and it didn’t disappoint this time - spotlessly clean etc If I had one tiny criticism it would be the step from the first bedroom to be more defined as one our party misjudged the step due to this otherwise I am so glad I discovered This place

Fab House
We had a lovely stay at Jacqui’s house. The photos don’t do it justice - there’s loads of space; amazing views (sunset both evenings) and a great kitchen/dining area - all of which immaculately clean. We found parking easy on the street near the house. The location is perfect - it’s less than a mile to the centre of the Old Town - our 80 year old granny walked it there and back easily. Also, the crazy golf near the house is definitely worth a go - it was great fun to play on our last morning. We would highly recommend this house and a trip to Margate and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful accomodation
Within very easy walking distance of town, no parking restrictions. Beautiful sea view Wonderfully equipped with high quality appliances and beautifully furnished. Tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and nibbles provided by host and cupboards stocked with tomato sauce etc left by previous guests. 2nd time we ve stayed here. Only downside is that the bedrooms in the basement are a bit dark - but can't have everything. Would highly recommend

A perfect spot for some R and R
We were a party of 7 but the house could comfortably hold the listed 12. A beautiful, spacious, comfortable home which is very well equipped and a perfect base from which to explore Margate. The road is quiet with on street parking available. The views out to sea from the terrace in the main lounge are beautiful. Entry is by keypad which is most convenient for larger parties. Highly recommended

Great house for extended family group
This house is in a great location overlooking the sea. It is easily big enough for 12, has plenty of bathrooms with ample hot water and despite its size was warm and cosy in late October. Welcome milk and tea bags etc were much appreciated and the house has pretty much everything you need for a week's stay including comfy beds and a beer fridge.

Spacious Property a Stone's Throw from the Beach
An excellent property for a bigger than average group - the door code instead of a key meant we could all come and go as we pleased and there were plenty of loos and showers to go around! The views from the master bedroom, lounge and dining room over the sea were just wonderful. Grocery stores, the railway station and cafes and restaurants were all within easy walking distance.

Whitson week in Margate
The house and location was perfect and the owner was lovely to deal with. Watching the sun setting in the sea from the balcony with a G&T with tired out children after a day in the beach was bliss. I'd thoroughly recommend a stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jacqui Barwood

Host profile image
Welcome to our family friendly holiday home. With 3 children of our own, we understand what makes the difference on holiday and so we have equipped the house as a real home from home. As well as a separate family games and TV room, the house is equipped with everything you need for younger children including 2 high chairs, 2 travel cots and lots of children's games and toys

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with SeaView House as soon as we saw it. With stunning views out over the sea and a Blue Flag beach at the bottom of the steps, it is perfect for family holidays.

We spent almost 2 years restoring this Grade II listed Victorian town house back to its former glory.

The house is full of original Victorian charm complete with a large and elegant first floor sitting room with a covered verandah to enjoy the sea air.

Outside, it's straight onto the coastal footpath - turn left to Westgate on Sea and right to Margate with the Turner Contemporary Gallery and charming Old Town, complete with galleries, cafes and restaurants.

At the rear is a lovely secluded garden.

What makes this property unique

Our house is large and well equipped. It is possible to sleep up to 12 people. However the house is arranged so that it is also possible to be let as 2 fully separate units:

Firstly, a 2 bedroom apartment, complete with 2 ensuite shower rooms, a large open plan sitting room/kitchen and a small self contained rear courtyard.

Secondly, a 4 bedroom house with 2 ensuite shower rooms a family bathroom and further shower room. The house also enjoys a large dining room opening into a modern kitchen, a large and elegant first floor sitting room with covered verandah and sea views and a separate family TV and games room, which opens out to the rear garden.
