St. Lawrence Chase, Ramsgate, CT11

Modern houses aren’t usually bought for the architecture.

They’re bought because they work.

And this one works particularly well.

Although technically part of St Lawrence Chase, this three-bedroom end-of-terrace sits amongst a select few properties actually positioned on Nethercourt Farm Road itself — and, in our opinion, that makes quite a difference.

You’re on a well-established and highly regarded road in St Lawrence, rather than tucked away somewhere deep inside a modern development.

The house itself is offered with vacant possession and has clearly been looked after. It’s clean, tidy and perfectly comfortable as it stands, although we suspect the next owner may want to give it a little modern twist of their own. Nothing dramatic. More evolution than renovation.

Outside, there’s a well-proportioned rear garden and allocated parking, so no nightly game of musical cars when you get home.

And then there’s the location.

One of the reasons this side of Ramsgate keeps getting asked for is how quickly you can actually get out of Thanet.

Most of us who live here accept the unofficial 20-minute Thanet tax every time we want to leave the island.

Not so much here.

Jump in the car and within moments you’re on the dual carriageway heading towards Canterbury, London or pretty much anywhere else.

So no, architecturally it isn’t going to stop traffic.

But it is a good house, in a very good spot, with vacant possession and plenty of potential to make it your own.

Sometimes that matters rather more.
