Home House Ramsgate is a gorgeous holiday home in the Royal Cinque Port of Ramsgate, Kent. A part listed Georgian building, lovingly restored by it’s owners, Home House shows much of it’s original history with the addition of some contemporary details. We hope you like it.

In 2011 the house was awarded a blue historical plaque as Sir William Jordan, New Zealand High Commissioner, was born in the house.

The 26ft long basement is light, airy and a gorgeous space for cooking and dining, playing board games. The dining table seats 10 and there is also a high chair. Our kitchen is well supplied with appliances and cooking tools. There is a dishwasher, range cooker, microwave, huge fridge freezer and a washer dryer.

The ground floor has a small sitting room/vestibule with a sofa, desk with stool and shelves stocked with books for all. The stairs to the basement lead off from here. We also have the main sitting room with two armchairs and a large L-shaped sofa. There is a Freeview TV, DVD player, DVDs, fast broadband and an alcove filled with board games and puzzles.

On the first floor there is a big family bathroom with bath with shower, WC and wash basin. The master bedroom is on this floor with king size bed and a second WC and innovative wash basin.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor and a walk in shower accessible from both rooms. The shower features tiles by our friend and acclaimed artist Rob Ryan. One of the bedrooms has two adult sized single beds and the other has a double bed. There is also a travel cot.

Ramsgate is a pretty and traditional seaside town and Home House is found on a quiet residential road, one end of which overlooks the sparkling marina and the other leads to a Waitrose and the main road leading down into the town centre.

There are so many places to eat and drink in Ramsgate. We are a few minutes away from a parade of impressive restaurants that overlook the marina offering Italian, French, Thai, Indian (all offering take away) and five minutes walk away from the seafront where there are a wide range of bars and restaurants from Pizza Express to Peter’s traditional fish and chips.

Ramsgate has a Blue Flag sandy beach which is perfect for digging sandcastles and swimming in the sea (life guards on duty in high season). With it’s Royal Harbour, the old Clockhouse (which houses the Maritime Museum) and Royal Harbour Brasserie on the end of the jetty there’s plenty to do and the sea, always there to gaze out at.

Whether you want an energetic holiday walking, cycling or taking part in water sports – or pottering around museums and other historical attractions – or perhaps playing golf on one of many championship courses available locally – there are plenty of things for everyone to get involved with, rain or shine. There are some amazing nature reserves and trail walks nearby. Broadstairs, an old haunt of Charles Dickens, is an easy and enjoyable 50 minute walk along the cliffs or beach. Margate and the Turner Contemporary gallery, historical Canterbury and Whitstable’s world famous oysters can all be reached by public transport or a short drive in a car. You can even hop on a ferry from Ramsgate and spend the day in Belgium.

Happy holidays!
