Does anyone out there want to rent our beautiful Grade 2 Listed Georgian seaside house for the whole summer or possibly longer? We bought it this time last year and had a fantastic time using it for weekends and school holidays before deciding to ditch London alltogether and move to Kent permanently (this Friday!)

The house is four storeys, big and bright with bags of character, whiewashed floors, and a great no maintanence garden. There is gated off street parking which is a real bonus in Ramsgate where parking spaces are as rare as hens teeth! Church Street itself is a very quiet road and the house has fantastic views of the Church and grounds.

Everything you could want to do in Ramsgate is within easy walking distance whether it's a bucket and spade on the award winning sandy beach or sophisticated dinner for two (one of the best Thai restaurants in the south of the country is 5 mins walk away). If it's shopping you're after then the fantastic retail village at West Wood Cross is a 10 min drive, a must for any weekend in Thanet! (and the best TK Maxx I've ever been to, knocks the spots off Croydon) The quaint seaside town of Broadstairs is 10 mins drive if you fancy a Morrelli's ice-cream (and who doesn?t?).

To work off the ice-cream my husband bought a kayak and bobbed out on the sea every Saturday morning, (wet suit required after September) In contrast I enjoyed a quiet coffee in one of the harbourside cafes in the afternoon with a copy of Coast magazine (the house was actually shortlisted for a Coast feature)

The cost of the house per month is ?750 which works out at about ?170 per week much cheaper than either a holiday let or the mortgage (which is considerably more)

Have fun at the weekend, invite your friends to join you or spend the whole summer there, whatever you decide to do will be great because you'll always be on holiday there.

The house is fully furnished and all ready to go ,there's even a barbecue on the deck and the beds are the comfiest this side of the Ritz!

The house sleeps five to six in two double bedrooms and one bunk room.

All this and only an hour and a half from East Dulwich, even on a Friday night!

I've attatched some photos and as we'll be down there from Friday viewings can be arranged anytime after that.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
