Tim
This is the Coach House part of the famous Old Tower Bungalow estate, which is the first bungalow estate in Western Europe. It's a unique property with images that track around the outside. Obviously, with the age of the property come steep stairs, which without wishing to discriminate, some might find difficult there is a hand rail to help. I am around nearly all the time and happy to carry bags if needed.Please note that the bathroom is a shared bathroom with myself. I rarely use the bathroom except in the morning as there are additional facilities downstairs. The house is kept at a constant 18 degrees but if you need your room warmer an electric fan heater can be provided
Welcome to my house Midnight the Cat, Louie the dog and myself are relaxed and comfortable people and invite you to enjoy our hospitality. I am a Massage Therapist and work from home, I live my life to the full and enjoy everyday to the best of my ability, I have a positive outlook on life.
The local area is quiet, shops are ten minute walk away and there are many interesting houses and streets to look at. Wonderful Sunsets can be seen from the Minnis Bar at Minnis Bay, Margate 5 miles away where there are many nice bars and restaurants and of course the famous Dreamland Amusement and entertainment venue.
