Thanet’s rich history is on your doorstep at St Augustine’s Park in Westgate-on-Sea and Upton Grange in Broadstairs, two developments from award-winning housebuilder, Millwood Designer Homes.

Charles Dickens regularly visited Broadstairs from 1837 to 1859. Having christened the town Our English Watering Place, current residents celebrate the author’s fond association with the town each year with a Dickens Festival.

For almost 300 years Margate has been attracting visitors to the seaside. At its heart is Old Town, a peaceful network of cobbled streets, which has become a cultural centre.

Thanet is a treasure trove of history and at St Augustine’s Park and Upton Grange you’re in the midst of it all. The exteriors of the homes are designed to blend in with local housestyles and Millwood has looked back to Georgian and Edwardian architecture for inspiration. In fact, the housebuilder is well known for combining the best in local architectural history with the very best in modern amenities.
