Chatham Place Residence is set within an attractive Grade II Listed property and offers ten beautifully crafted apartments with a quirky variety of layouts to accommodate modern living. These charming new homes have been designed around the original character of the building; with high ceilings, large original sash windows, cast iron radiators and distant sea views.
The new apartments are worlds apart from the accommodation provided historically, this unique building was actually listed in the 1887 street directory as Miss Bishops Ladies School, by 1900 at least part of the building provided a laundry for Chatham House whereas by 1930 part of the property was a Lodgings House with the rest of the building being home to Ramsgate Liberal Working Men’s Club, remaining so until 2016. This incredible building sits in a prominent position in the town overlooking Chatham House School as well as Townley House built in 1792 and known as where Queen Victoria stayed on her holiday visits to Ramsgate.
Ramsgate is situated on the southerly aspect of the Isle of Thanet and benefits the country’s only Royal Harbour, its status being granted by King George IV in 1821. The distinctive and beautiful harbour has a vibrant yachting community alongside some commercial activity and was where the Little Ships evacuation of Dunkirk set out from in 1940. The town is enjoying something of a Renaissance with its large amount of Grade II Listed property, many set within elegant Regency squares, or overlooking the sea, others with links to or influenced by the architect Augustus Pugin. In recent years the Royal Harbour has seen many restaurants, cafes and bars emerge alongside quirky independent retail outlets, some utilising the arches on the quayside beneath Royal Parade.
The town is steeped in history with associations to many well-known figures including Queen Victoria , Karl Marx and Vincent Van Gogh as well as having a fascinating network of tunnels beneath the main centre.
The fortunes of the town have been hugely assisted by the recent addition of a high speed rail link to London St Pancras in just 76 minutes from Ramsgate train station which is a short walk away from the development, making a commute for many a viable option. Chatham Place Residence has fantastic location, it’s a short walk from the promenade, the beach and Ramsgate Leisure Centre. There are also a selection of primary and secondary schools within close proximity.
