Penthouse for sale with 2 bedrooms, Harbour View, 1 Beach Drive

This luxurious penthouse in the superb Royal Sands development on the seafront in Ramsgate is absolutely stunning. With an approximately 900 square foot roof terrace, uninterrupted views across the sea to France, a top quality interior and immediate access to the sandy beach without having to cross the road, this truly special apartment is the perfect weekend and holiday retreat or a wonderful seaside home.

It is accessed through a secure front door entrance with a door entry system to each apartment. Alternatively there is a vehicular access with an automatic gate entry system that leads to the ground floor private parking area providing one designated space per apartment. A lift will whisk you quickly and quietly to the fourth floor where you will find the entrance to the penthouse.

All the flooring is top quality Karndean, all the external doors and windows are black aluminium and the terrace and balcony are stainless steel and glass, keeping future maintenance to a minimum.

The hall leads to the attractive light and bright open plan living room and kitchen that includes the three black aluminium bi-fold doors to the private roof terrace and French doors to a separate private balcony. The high end kitchen was designed by Smallbone with soft closing units, Stilestone quartz worktops and Siemens appliances including a hob, built in oven and combi microwave and an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as a central island and a sink with a Quooker tap.

There is a heat recovery system and a plethora of brushed stainless steel switches, TV points and sockets as well as inset lighting and wiring for electric blinds above most of the windows and the terrace doors. This enables owners to select their own blinds but these can be installed by the developers if required.

The first bedroom includes French doors to the private terrace with lovely views, built in wardrobes and a contemporary ensuite double shower room with underfloor heating. Along the corridor is a large boiler cupboard that incorporates a plumbed in washer/dryer, the family bathroom that has a fitted cupboard and underfloor heating and the second double bedroom with porthole windows

However, the roof terrace has to be the piéce de rèsistance of this delightful penthouse. It includes a large covered area so you can enjoy the views even if the weather is inclement. There is plenty of space to install a hot tub and/or a sauna, a barbecue and even a pizza oven while still leaving sufficient room for luxurious seating and dining areas. The panoramic vista is impressive with views across to France on a clear day while in the evening you may even see the twinkling lights of Calais and Cap Gris Nez.
