A Brand New Development of Bespoke Contemporary Homes

Elliott’s Close is a Brand New Development of Bespoke Contemporary homes set in a quiet-de-sac of the seaside town of Margate. These homes are just over a mile from Margate Train Station, making the location suitable for any commuters. Not only does Margate Train Station have a fast service into London St Pancras but also stops at Ashford. This is where you will able to access the Eurostar services’ to Paris and beyond.

Margate has been one of the UK’s leading seaside resorts for hundreds of years and offers all the benefits that brings. Elliotts Close itself is close to the ever-popular Margate Sands - what could be more convenient for a family with young children to entertain!

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside...

A short drive away, there’s plenty of the great outdoors to enjoy at Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve, where you can explore the wetlands, reed beds and woodlands, whilst at Wingham Wildlife Park near Canterbury, you can meet the monkeys, wolves, reptiles, big cats and more. 

Some of the UK’s very best sandy beaches can be enjoyed in nearby Broadstairs as well as at The Bay, the wide sandy beach that’s one of several in Margate – with more than fifteen more scattered across the wider area, so you’ll never have a problem getting your daily dose of Vitamin Sea!

A life on the ocean wave...

Nestling on the southeastern tip of Kent, Margate enjoys an oceanic climate, with often milder temperatures complemented by a relatively large amount of sunshine and quite low rainfall, so the kids can spend even more time playing amongst the palm trees on the beach, while you relax with a sundowner. Local amenities...

Even though Margate is closer to France than it is to its own county town of Maidstone, regular trains from Margate Station will whisk you directly to London St Pancras International or London Victoria station in under two hours.

And for families with young children, Elliotts Close offers a number of well-regarded primary schools. One of these is virtually on your doorstep – Cliftonville Primary and Pre-School, awarded an Ofsted rating of Outstanding in November 2016.

As well as its obvious lifestyle advantages, Elliotts Close allows residents to indulge in a wealth of culture, right on
their doorstep. Less than a mile away, the outstanding Turner Contemporary, the world-class modern gallery standing where the artist himself once lived, showcases renowned collections.

Theatre-goers are spoiled for choice too, with the Theatre Royal in Addington Street – the second oldest theatre in the country – and the Tom Thumb Theatre, the second smallest.

The only problem is knowing how to fit it all in.
