First Avenue, Cliftonville, Margate, CT9 2PY

“A sophisticated apartment on Margate’s famous promenade”

Spectacular views of passing boats and the tide's ebb and flow sketch a quintessential coastal scene from this elegant Margate apartment. Located on the seafront, it sits mere steps from the sandy shores of Walpole Bay and its historic Walpole Tidal Pool for cold-water swimming. Designed to match the town's Victorian and Edwardian heritage, the apartment has classical proportions and floor-to-ceiling windows, complemented by a subtle colour palette and high-end finishes.

The Tour

Endcliffe Apartments is a four-storey modern development designed to maximise sea views over the adjacent Walpole Bay. This apartment is on the first floor and epitomises the design with expansive picture windows and four sea-facing Juliet balconies.

Inside, the door opens onto the heart of the living space, where the kitchen and dining room are seamlessly integrated with the sitting room. Views look towards the seascape beyond, and light enters the same way, amplifying the soothing seafoam-green shade on the walls. The kitchen is decorated in a complementary dusty pink, with marble countertops and integrated appliances; period-style cornicing adorns the ceiling above.

The apartment occupies a prominent corner position within the building’s distinguished turret; as a result, the living room features a five-window bay, with a dining table arranged within.

There are two bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room, and a bathroom. The principal bedroom has a particularly airy quality, enhanced by ample built-in wardrobes and Farrow & Ball’s ‘Pavilion Grey’. One of the Juliet balconies opens from here to open sea views. The en suite bathroom provides a subtle contemporary counterpoint, with a palette of terrazzo, glass, and Crittall-style steel. Taps are from Lusso Stone.

The second bedroom could double as an office, and features built-in storage and heavy-duty curtains by House of Hackney. Opposite, the bathroom is decorated with a joyful combination of peach-and-cream Harlequin tiles and terrazzo, with underfloor heating.
