About this property

  • The existing Property is set in an elevated position on the East Cliff in one of the most recognisable and possibly desirable positions in Ramsgate. It currently comprises a mid-century office block which has replaced a row of attractive Georgian terraced townhouses which previously made up the square. We are informed these original units were damaged during World War II as part of the Luftwaffe’s bombing campaign and were later altered by the Local Authority post-war removing any of the historic fabric. The Property now comprises 7 terraced blocks arranged over 5 storeys including basements. One of the Georgian terraced units (20 Albion Place) remains and is Grade II Listed. It has been incorporated into the current offices. The façade of this unit including the ornate balcony is to remain whilst the offices are to be demolished as part of Phase I of the planning permission. Adjacent to the Property is a car park with spaces for approximately 18 cars, the car park forms Phase II of the planning consent.
