Welcome to "Cambridge House" on Sweyn Road, an extraordinary detached residence with an air of grandeur and timeless appeal. A true landmark in Cliftonville since the 1850s, this homes pleasing symmetry and unique design have captivated passersby for generations. Inside, the current owners (a photographer and a designer) have created a serene and stylish sanctuary that blends contemporary elegance with historic charm.
Entering the house on the raised ground floor, you are immediately struck by the grand scale of the entrance hallway with its impressive 3.1 meter height. The exposed wooden floors throughout this level add both practicality and beauty, ideal for the high-traffic areas of a busy family home. The principal living room features a box sash window with plantation blinds and a beautiful fireplace, providing a cozy yet elegant space. The adjacent dining room is a unique space, where remnants of historic wallpaper and bespoke cabinetry add character. From here, step down into the charming garden, which we will explore in more detail later. The kitchen continues the theme of elegant simplicity with bespoke carpentry and a fitted bench that serves as the focal point for family meals.
The lower level is a self-contained space with its own garden access and private front entrance. Perfect for an Air BnB or guest accommodation, this level includes a spacious bedroom, a separate WC, and a luxurious bathroom with a roll top bath. Additionally, there’s a large room currently used as a home office for two, offering flexibility for various uses.
The first floor houses the main sleeping quarters. The main bedroom at the front of the house features two stunning floor to ceiling sash windows, filling the room with natural light. There are two additional double bedrooms, each offering ample space and comfort. The family bathroom boasts a deep bath, ideal for both children's bath times and relaxing soaks.
The gardens of Cambridge House are situated on both sides of the property, featuring well-maintained lawns and planted borders. The right side garden includes a decked area, easily accessible from the house by a converted window-to-door transformation which is a roaring success. The property also includes a secure driveway with ample parking and a garage to the rear.
Sweyn Road’s beachside location off Northdown Road provides unparalleled convenience. Enjoy easy access to the sea, beach, and tidal pool, all just a short walk away. The area also boasts a vast array of restaurants, shops, bars, and pubs, making it a wonderful place to live.
Cambridge House is more than just a home; it’s a piece of Margate’s history, thoughtfully updated to offer modern comfort and style. With its flexible accommodation, stunning design, and prime location, this property is a rare opportunity to own a truly unique residence.
