Westbrook is a Victorian seaside resort with a stunning beach located just moments from the property. The promenade connects directly to Westgate-on-Sea, a popular seaside town known for its charming array of independent shops, restaurants, and boutiques. It borders the larger and better-known coastal resort of Margate.

Westgate boasts two lovely sandy bays—West Bay and St. Mildred’s Bay—and has remained a popular tourist destination since the town’s development in the 1860s. The town is home to three primary schools, including one private school, as well as Ursuline College, a secondary school. Local amenities include a library, the iconic three-screen Carlton Cinema—dating back to the early 1900s—and the Westgate Pavilion, which hosts discos, yoga, indoor bowls, and dance classes. Westgate train station offers direct links to London via both the high-speed service and national rail.

The vibrant seaside town of Margate, just a mile away, is a true British icon.

Margate’s renaissance in recent years has been driven by three key developments. First, in 2011, the Turner Contemporary art gallery opened on the seafront, on the very spot where the artist J.M.W. Turner once lived. Its launch was a major cultural milestone, drawing national attention to Margate’s many attractions. Around the same time, the local council began regenerating the historic Old Town, encouraging independent businesses to thrive. Finally, in 2015, following a decade of campaigning, Margate’s famous old theme park, Dreamland, reopened—reviving one of the town’s most beloved landmarks.

Further afield, the historic city of Canterbury offers an even broader selection of amenities, including a fantastic mix of high street and independent retailers, restaurants, pubs, and leisure facilities. The recently refurbished Marlowe Theatre is a particular highlight. Canterbury also provides an excellent range of state and independent schools, three universities, two mainline railway stations, two hospitals, and a well-connected bus network.
