If you’re looking for a property that can house your whole family, from grandparents to toddlers, this seven-bedroom home could be the perfect fit.
The semi-detached house in Ramsgate, on the market for £1.95m, contains three separate apartments, all of which overlook the harbour.
The property sits within the Ramsgate Conservation Area and has one of the best views in the coastal town, with an elevated position that looks right out over the Kent coast to Deal and beyond.
These panoramic views can be enjoyed from many of the principal rooms in each apartment, so no-one will miss out, no matter which floor they are living on.
The first apartment, on the ground floor, features a kitchen and dining room, two double bedrooms - one of which has an en-suite wet room - a living room and a cosy conservatory, which leads out onto the terrace.
There is also a single bedroom, which can be used as an office or storage room, and a utility room.
The original staircase, dating back to the 1800s, leads up to the second apartment on the first floor.
This apartment includes a library and, similar to the ground floor, has its own conservatory and terrace.
It also includes a single bedroom, two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a dressing room, and a kitchen/breakfast room.
The final living space is the self-contained annexe. This is the smallest of the three apartments but still has plenty of space for comfortable living, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and lounge.
However, just because the living quarters are separate, there are still some shared areas where the family can get together.
The garden floor, formerly a doctor’s surgery, has a series of rooms that are currently used for storage and workshops, as well as a studio and kitchenette.
There is also a professional photography studio, and a number of these rooms have been let out to local artists in the past.
You could either choose to continue to rent the studios out to craftspeople, or perhaps indulge your own hobbies and use the rooms to give each family member their own space to work.
The outside space is also an area that can be shared by everyone living in the property.
At the front of the home, there is a private garden that is filled with shrubs, plants and herbaceous borders, ideal for those green-thumbed residents who want to spend time looking after the garden.
The gardens continue to the side of the house, where there is a large, private terrace which is lined by Grade II listed railing.
Next door is the prestigious Royal Temple Yacht Club, and Ramsgate harbour is directly below the property.
The beach, with its golden sands and nearby bars and restaurants, is less than a 10 minute walk from the front door, and the train station can be reached in 10 minutes by car.
