From pristine and inviting golden sand beaches, to stunning sunsets, to a thriving high street, there’s something for everyone in Thanet. What is it about our coastal district that's causing an increasing number of families to consider it not just as a holiday spot but a permanent residence? Let’s dive into the allure of Thanet and why it might just be the place you've been searching for.
Breath-taking beaches
Thanet boasts some of the most pristine and inviting beaches in the UK. From the golden sands of Broadstairs to the majestic cliffs of Margate and the harbour views of Ramsgate, there's a stretch of coast for everyone. And with over 20 beaches and bays to explore, you're never far from a seaside escape, and summer holiday bliss!
Rich cultural heritage
Margate’s Turner Contemporary, named after the town’s famous visiting artist J.M.W. Turner, is just one of the cultural gems in the region. Thanet's historical roots run deep, and it offers a rich tapestry of arts, music, and heritage events throughout the year.
A thriving local community
With an emphasis on local businesses, farmers' markets, and community events, living in Thanet means becoming part of a close-knit and supportive community. We find many of our friendly neighbours recognise us when we’re visiting properties, at local events, or around our offices; the sense of belonging is palpable.
Sustainability
The prevailing ethos throughout Thanet is eco living, sustainability, and protecting the wonderful landscape we see around us. As a result, not only can you learn plenty about the environment through nature walks, beach expeditions and in the museums, but your children will appreciate the effort put in to protect their future. One of our proudest moments as a local business was winning “The Most Sustainable Agent” at the Negotiator Awards last year.
Accessibility
The Highspeed national rail links make commuting or travelling to and from Thanet a breeze. Being just over an hour away from London, you have the perfect blend of coastal serenity and city accessibility.
Family friendly activities
Biking and water sports, museums and historic sights, indoor play centres and theme parks - there’s a wealth of activities for families to do together year-round in Thanet. Parents can breathe a sigh of relief filling their children’s weekends or holidays and connecting with other local families to socialise and have fun with.
In essence, Thanet isn't just a location; it's a family-friendly lifestyle. It's about embracing the harmonious blend of coastal beauty, rich history, and modern living.
