Flat to rent Southwood Road, Thanet

Description

This is a two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor with a garden. It has been newly decorated and features newly fitted carpets. The property is unfurnished.

Ramsgate is situated on the southerly aspect of the Isle of Thanet and benefits from the country’s only Royal Harbour, its status being granted by King George IV in 1821. The distinctive and beautiful harbour has a vibrant yachting community alongside some commercial activity and was where the Little Ships evacuation of Dunkirk set out from in 1940. The town is enjoying something of a Renaissance with its large amount of Grade II Listed property, many set within elegant Regency squares, or overlooking the sea, others with links to or influenced by the architect Augustus Pugin. In recent years, the Royal Harbour has seen many restaurants, cafes and bars emerge alongside quirky independent retail outlets, some utilising the arches on the quayside beneath Royal Parade. Ramsgate is steeped in history with associations to many well-known figures including Queen Victoria, Karl Marx and Vincent Van Gogh as well as having a fascinating network of tunnels beneath the main centre. The fortunes of the town have been hugely assisted by the recent addition of a high-speed rail link to London St Pancras making a commute for many a viable option.
