Broadstairs, Kent
Bay View House
There are sea view properties, and then there is Bay View House. Sitting on one of Broadstairs' most beautiful Georgian streets, directly above Viking Bay, this is a characterful townhouse with a garden gate that leads down to the beach. You really are at the centre of it all - the sand, the sea and the independent high street all on your doorstep. The kitchen is a genuinely lovely space with duck egg blue shaker cabinets, a range cooker, a Belfast sink and a built-in bay window seat with a small round table looking out over the garden and sea beyond, the perfect spot for a relaxed breakfasts. The main living spaces are spread across the house in a way that works well for friends and family, a wonderful living room sits on the lower ground floor and really comes into its own for cosy evenings in, with a wood-burning stove, a big dining table, and shelves stocked with board games. It is equally nice in the summer as it is lovely and cool. A shower room sits just off this space, and doors lead up steps to the garden terrace above. The three bedrooms are generous in size and full of natural light. The two generous king size bedrooms look out over the garden and sea beyond, each with original cast iron fireplaces and brass bed frames and sea views. The principal bedroom is something special with a sweeping curved bay window with a cushioned window seat looking directly over Viking Bay, a chandelier overhead and the sea filling the view in every direction. A third bedroom with bunk beds makes the house a great fit for families. The main bathroom is beautifully finished with a bath, a separate walk-in rainfall shower and a double vanity, everything you need after a long day on the beach. Outside, the garden is a real delight and well planted. A terrace with table and chairs makes the most of the sea views, and at the bottom of the garden, the gate opens directly onto Viking Bay, one of the finest sandy beaches in the south of England, and quite literally on your doorstep. Broadstairs has a wonderful high street, excellent cafés, restaurants and independent shops, a busy harbour and the famous annual food festival. Margate and the Turner Contemporary are ten minutes away, Ramsgate ten minutes in the other direction, and London is under ninety minutes from the station, making this one of the most well connected sea view properties on the Kent coast.

Reviews
Broadstairs
Bay View House sits right at the heart of Broadstairs, directly above Viking Bay. Everything that makes Broadstairs special is within a short walk from the beach and the harbour, to the high street and wonderful independent cafes and restaurants. Broadstairs itself is a really pretty seaside town. It has a genuinely good high street, a busy harbour and a community feel that holds even in the height of summer with all the visitors. The annual food festival draws visitors from across the county and afar, and the restaurants and cafes here punch well above what you might expect from a small coastal town, surprising even locals! Viking Bay, reachable directly from the garden gate, is one of the best sandy beaches in the south of England. Sheltered and stunningly beautiful, it's the kind of beach that works just as well for a bracing winter walk as it does for a long summer afternoon. The town's other bays, Botany Bay and Joss Bay, are worth exploring too, each with their own character and quieter stretches of coast. For those arriving by train, Broadstairs station is a short walk from the house, with London just under ninety minutes away on the high speed trains. It's one of the most connected spots on the Kent coast, making Bay View House just as well suited to a long weekend as it is to a proper summer holiday.
