For Sale7 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in Paragon, Ramsgate, Kent Ct11 9jx£1,000,000

We have lived in this lovely house for the past 25 years and it has been a great place to bring up the children. As soon as we say the house we fell in love with the character and the views and the excellent location. However it is now time to downsize and move nearer to the family. All along the seafront in Ramsgate is delightful with an amazing number of beautiful Grade II Listed properties. At the same time, it is only a short distance to the dual carriageway for access to London, Canterbury, Sandwich, Dover and Folkestone yet we can stroll out of the front door and walk along the cliff top and on blue flag, sandy beaches, wander down to the excellent bars, cafes and restaurants that abound close to the marina or even cycle along the Viking trail. A number of primary and grammar schools in the vicinity are rated Outstanding by Ofsted and there are also very good private schools. If you want to commute to London the high speed train from Ramsgate will whisk you there in about an hour and a quarter or go to Thanet Parkway for easier parking and a 70 minute trip to St Pancras. We are also near enough to the ferry from Dover or the Channel Tunnel to enable you to go Calais for lunch and also fill up your wine cellar. There are a number of theatres in the area as well as art galleries and museums and if you want some more serious retail therapy you can spend time at the Westwood Cross shopping centre with its high street stores, eateries, Vue cinema complex and a casino.  There are plenty of sporting activities available as we are not far from the bowls and croquet clubs while the tennis courts are literally on our doorstep. The sailing fraternity can moor their boats at the marina and enjoy the facilities at the Royal Temple Yacht club and if you enjoy golf there are numerous courses and clubs nearby including St Augustine’s and North Foreland as well as the Princes and St George’s championship courses at Sandwich while Broadstairs includes squash, sailing, rugby and cricket clubs.
