This particular property is on the border of Westgate-on-Sea, once coined as 'Mayfair by the sea' when aristocratic Londoners visited during summer. Westgate is a highly regarded coastal town, predominately of period architecture with its Victorian canopied shops offering a range of independent boutiques, mainstream supermarket cafe's, restaurants and bars. Westgate is also home to a magnificent 18-hole golf club, the grade II listed Carlton Cinema and a selection of both primary and secondary schools.
Westgate train station is close by and provides a frequent service for commuters straight through to London Victoria. Margate mainline station is 1.5 miles distant and provides direct links to London Victoria as well as the high speed Javelin service to London St. Pancras.
