Lynx Street, Margate, CT9

A faulty loo, the flood, and a six-figure refurb.

Sounds like the start of a Guy Ritchie film.

Instead, it’s the story behind one of the most interesting homes we’ve had coming through the doors this year.

Without giving too much away (we’re deliberately keeping the photography a little cryptic for now), this modern four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is currently in the middle of a refurbishment that will comfortably run into six figures.

Which raises the obvious question…

Why would anyone spend that sort of money on a relatively modern house?

Because sometimes life throws you a curveball. In this case, it started with a faulty toilet, became a significant flood, and ended with an insurance claim that’s allowed this property to be rebuilt to a standard that’s rarely seen at this price point.

Here’s the twist.

The owner isn’t simply putting everything back as it was. They’re a specialist in high-end residential refurbishment with an eye for design, and they’re using the opportunity to create something considerably better than what stood here before.

The result?

A home with four bedrooms, two beautifully refitted bathrooms, a brand-new kitchen, brand-new flooring throughout and… well… pretty much everything is brand new. This isn’t a cosmetic makeover; it’s a complete refurbishment.

Step outside and it gets even better. The rear garden is an absolute standout—far larger than you’d normally expect with a modern home. Set over two levels with separate patio and entertaining areas, it’s been designed as somewhere you’ll genuinely want to spend time. Add the convenience of rear access to your parking, and it’s a combination that’s surprisingly hard to find.

The specification speaks for itself, but what we can say now is this…

If you’ve ever wished you could buy a beautifully finished home without paying the premium that usually comes with one, this might just be your chance.

Coming soon.

One of the most interesting opportunities we’ve seen for quite some time, and we have a feeling it won’t stay quiet for long.

For those who love the details…

Sometimes it’s the specification that tells the real story. Here’s just a taste of what’s been included in this exceptional refurbishment:

• Premium AEG Wi-Fi Pyrolytic oven

• Quooker 4-in-1 boiling water tap

• Parisian Blue quartz worktops

• Insinkerator waste disposal unit

• Karndean herringbone flooring to the hallway, kitchen, WC and en-suite

• Farrow & Ball paint finishes throughout

• Luxury Aqualla brassware to the bathrooms and en-suite

• Granite bathroom finishes

• Bespoke media wall

• Electric vehicle charging point

• External power supply

• Landscaped split-level rear garden with two separate entertaining terraces

• Rear access to private parking

This isn’t simply a refurbished home. It’s a thoughtfully redesigned one, finished to a standard that’s rarely found anywhere near this price point.
