THE LAKESIDE LOVELY

THE COASTAL CHARM

Martello Lakes Hythe, Kent

Spitre Green Ramsgate, Kent

Ramsgate is among the Kent seaside towns that have seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with increasing numbers of young professionals buying in or relocating to the area. These new three bedroom homes offer the perfect mix of coast, country and town. On the ground oor you can enjoy a spacious kitchen/dining area with French doors leading out on to the garden, a light-lled relaxing lounge, and a bathroom. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, with an en suite to the main bedroom, a single bedroom, and a modern family bathroom.

These beautiful new homes sit in a pretty spot on the Kent coast, just 15 miles from the white cliffs of Dover. The properties available range from two bedroom apartments to four bedroom detached houses, all with outdoor space, and many with views out over lakes. The apartments feature open-plan living/dining areas with French doors leading to a private terrace. The bedrooms are well sized, with the main also featuring an en suite. London can be reached in under two hours – including a 20-minute drive to Ashford International.

THE NEXT STEP

“To say we’re excited about the homes at Riverside Square is a serious understatement. We are very committed to making this dream a reality. We registered with Hyde New Homes right away, have our nances in order and a mortgage offer in principle for the right amount.”

The homes and location here provide us with the ideal balance we’ve been looking for – a taste of city life outside of London, with country and coastline all on the doorstep. We love the look of Canterbury, with its stunning historic sights and lots of entertainment and culture on offer, and the commuting time into London is so impressive. The houses are just perfect – very contemporary and stylish. The kitchens are just to our taste, and we would be so proud to invite friends and family over for dinner or to stay. There’s so much close by, too, with some absolutely amazing coastline within a 20-minute drive.“

There’s a lovely mix of country and coastal here: although you’re not right by the sea, it’s such a short drive, that we could really make the most of it without having to do a huge trip. We really like how the development includes green space and wildlife areas and that there are a range of properties, meaning a more diverse community around us. Ramsgate is a cool place - it’s got a lot of history but also has a growing arts and culture scene, which really is a piece of us.”

This is a beautiful development – the surroundings are just so different to what we’re used to – stunning lakes on the doorstep, and the sea literally minutes from the door. Hythe is very close by and has all the amenities you’d need on a daily basis, while Ashford is only a 20-minute drive, so we’d never be far from super-speedy travel. This is a real getaway-from- it-all location. It’s a bit far south for us at the moment, but it has given us serious pause for thought.”
