Broadstairs – a seaside town combining a mix of Victorian semis, retirement apartments and large cliff top family homes.
BACKGROUND
Broadstairs is home to some of the best sandy beaches in the county of Kent. Known as the Jewel in Thanet’s Crown, it combines a seaside town with its own pier and bric-a-brac shops, with a big selection of supermarkets and restaurants in Westwood Cross.
Originally a fishing development, the population of this town is now around 25,000.
TRANSPORT
Trains run from Broadstairs to London Victoria in just under 2hours and to London St Pancras in 1hour 20minutes.
The Thanet Loop bus system runs extremely regularly, taking you to all the neighbouring areas of Broadstairs.
AMENITIES
Broadstairs has no shortage of beaches, and the best surfing beach in England but it also has much history to offer. From Fort Houses and a Tower Museum, plus shrines to Dickins and numerous festivals every summer, there is an eclectic mix of activities.
Westwood Cross is the largest shopping destination in the area, with shops, restaurants, a casino and a cinema.
There is a selection of primary schools in Broadstairs, rated as Outstanding. If these are over-subscribed then there are several, equally good options in neighbouring Ramsgate or Margate. Dane Court Grammar School rates very highly as a secondary school and Wellesley House and Haddon Dene are independent options.
If you are moving to Broadstairs then you will find several estate agents around Westwood Cross and the station. For other services you may need to venture into Ramsgate or explore the support available on PropertyHeads.
North Foreland Road
North Foreland Road is one of the most sought after areas in Broadstairs. It is walking distance to the high street, but in a tranquil location that looks out to the North Foreland Lighthouse. There is also easy access to the Golf Club and beaches from this setting.
Properties here tend to be more expensive thanks largely to the sea views. A 5 bedroom house averages between £1.1 and £1.2 million. A 2 bedroom property is approximately £500,000.
Fairfield Road
There is a large selection of retirement homes available in Broadstairs, and Fairfield Road is home to many of them. It is walking distance from the town centre.
A 1 bedroom retirement flat costs approximately £100,000 and you can still acquire semi-detached properties on this road for under £350,000 for 4 bedrooms.
St Peters Village
St Peters Village, although only 0.5miles from Broadstairs station and less than a mile from its high street, has its own local shops, surgery, butchers, church and post office.
A 1 bedroom property in St Peters Village starts at £150,000, with a 2 bedroom maisonettes from £180,000, although there is a huge variance in prices for similar sized properties. A detached 4 bedroom home is around £425,000.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
