The former Kent home of British golfer Nick Faldo has gone on the market for £500,000.

The two-bedroom apartment can be found in the truly unique setting of Kingsgate Castle, near Broadstairs.

The Grade II-listed building houses 32 apartments, including the previous residence of the three-time Open Championship winner.

The castle, which can be reached through the wrought iron gates or the Georgian smugglers' tunnel, dates back to the 1760s when it was originally built for Lord Holland.

It was then converted into flats in the 1950s, featuring communal lawns and parking for its residents.

The apartment has two bedrooms, including a master bedroom with views across the grounds and out towards the North Foreland lighthouse, a kitchen with integrated appliances and wood-panelled living room.

There’s also a bespoke made-to-measure banquette - a covered seating bench similar to restaurant booths - in the dining area and a refurbished shower room with underfloor heating.

The architecture and style of the flat has been designed to mirror the castle and includes many striking features including Spanish tiles, gothic-style wood units and curved walls.

When it comes to outdoor space, the apartment doesn’t come with its own private garden but there is a pull-down ladder in the second bedroom that leads to the flat roof.

This is where residents can enjoy an evening drink and watch the sun go down with panoramic views overlooking Kingsgate and Joss Bay.

Kingsgate beach is only a minute or two away from the property, while the town of Broadstairs can be reached in less than 10 minutes by car.

The train station, with links to London other nearby coastal towns such as Margate and Ramsgate.
