About this property

Wildlife Haven is a charming retreat nestled in the vibrant town of Margate, Kent, just a short stroll from the coast and beach. With convenient roadside parking and proximity to local shops and pubs, this delightful house is perfect for families, friends and couples seeking a seaside escape.

Upon entering the property, you'll be greeted by a spacious lounge with a large TV, electric log effect fire, and plenty of comfy seating. Follow through the hallway to a colourful, spacious dining room with original features and a beautiful chandelier over the table. This leads into the lovely bright and airy conservatory overlooking the garden, with an additional dining table and seating, ideal for enjoying meals with a view of the garden.

Further into the property, a light-filled conservatory offers additional dining seating, ideal for enjoying meals with a view of the garden. Further along is the light and spacious kitchen fully equipped for all your culinary needs. Also with a small table to share a cuppa at breakfast. There is a utility room next to the kitchen with a washing machine to take care of your washing. Next to this is a WC which completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, you'll find four well-presented bedrooms, each offering a peaceful space to rest after a day of exploration. The first is a relaxing king-size room with an en-suite shower room, followed by two neatly presented double rooms. The final bedroom is a twin, perfect for children or friends sharing. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and a walk-in shower, providing a choice of how to prepare for each day.

Outside, the garden has a patio area with plenty of furniture and a sunshade umbrella, great for eating and drinking in the garden on a sunny day. There is also a wicker lounger further up the garden with another table and extra garden chairs. There's a small wildlife pond at the bottom of the garden which is fenced off with 2 gates. The smaller gate will be padlocked and the bigger gate has a wooden latch high up out of young children's reach. This is a nice place to sit and relax and enjoy watching out for dragonflies, frogs and listening to the birds, or just wind down after a busy day exploring.

Spend a day unraveling the charm of Margate; this property is only a short walk from Cliftonville High Street, where there is an abundance of individual small shops, cafes, and a Tesco for all of your essentials. Guests can explore Margate Old Town, as well as the Turner Art Gallery, and the lovely Margate Beach, and there are plenty more beaches around the local area. Take a trip to the iconic sandy Botany Bay beach perfect for sun-seekers, or entertain the little ones at Dreamland Amusement which also hosts many well-known individuals and groups in the evening, plus it has music festivals all year round! Similarly, The Marlow Theatre in Canterbury is a lovely place to catch a show or even pantomimes in the festive season. Discover the depths of Margate Caves and after a day of exploring, refuel at The Dalby Café or Café de China offering mouth-watering dishes. Venturing further afield, the picturesque towns of Westgate-on-Sea and Broadstairs are within easy reach, filled with quaint streets, ample attractions, and an enchanting coastline. Choose Wildlife Haven as your base for a memorable coastal retreat brimming with exploration.

Margate, a seaside holiday resort set on the east coast of Kent, has undergone much renovation, and boasts the new Turner Contemporary gallery. This historic seaside town, with its Theatre Royal dating back to 1787, offers entertainment for everyone, from fishing and golf to beaches and amusements. The Winter Gardens offers a wide variety of events including shows, concerts and musicals with top performers throughout the year. You can wander along the Margate Harbour Arm and Old Town to browse artists' studios, relax in one of the many bars or restaurants or hire a bike. For the more adventurous there is a Turner and Dickens walk taking you to Broadstairs four miles away. The Shell Grotto, with its 2000 square feet of winding underground passages, delights visitors while the Hornby Visitor Centre brings back the nostalgia of Britain's best loved toys. Dreamland is also worth exploring with any little ones or those in search of old fashioned fun, with its traditional seaside attractions and vintage fairground. Margate is a lovely coastal town retaining its history but offering up-to-date entertainment for all ages with a variety of interests.

    Indoor spaces worked well for our family gathering. Particularly comfortable beds and tidy rooms allowing for putting clothes away. Large dining room and lounge. Enjoyed most meals in the bright conservatory. Area was quiet and parked outside house. Easy walking to the seafront, old town and to join the coastal path. Bus stop at bottom of road. Helpful information left by the owner. Extra touches of biscuits and ice creams.

  • Thelma

    The house had everything in order, it was clean and comfortable, the owner was very helpful in providing welcome items on our arrival. We enjoyed the beautiful wildlife garden and the peace it offered after a day of activity.

  • Diane

    It was very ideal the location as we spent time at both Ramsgate and Broadstairs. We ventured to some of the beaches in Margate which took a matter of minutes to get to. The house was great for us all it was so comfortable the beds were clean and fresh along with enough towels for 6 adults to use. The house was a great size and allowed us to also be able to eat as a family and relax after a busy few days down at the beach fronts. Great showers and the facilities were also enough that we could all get ready without waiting for bathrooms. The little touches you left for us all made us feel welcome in your home. Thank you and would look to use you again in the future.
