From the agent: "Gordon House is a remarkably characterful Grade II-listed home located on the fringe of Margate’s center, just minutes from the Main Sands and the railway station. Originally built in the 1790s as a Georgian family home, Gordon House’s 4,903 square feet now feature six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a gallery space, and studios across its five thoughtfully renovated floors. Many of the original architectural features have been revealed and preserved, and later Victorian cosmetic additions saved, including marble fire surrounds, internal archways and doors, sash windows, and wooden floorboards. The home was once part of the Ancient Parish of St. John the Baptist—which dates back to the 1500s—and had links with the nearby Grade I-listed Parish Church. This exciting abode is currently owned by Lucy Lyons, an artist who uses the house as a place to create and share with other artists and makers."
This 18th-century residence, dubbed Gordon House, is located in the seaside town of Margate, Kent, in southeast England. "A mixture of exposed and painted brickwork and render diverge the imposing facade, which is set slightly back from the pavement behind original iron railings," says the listing agent.

In addition to its well-preserved original elements, the Georgian home includes a number of Victorian additions that have been thoughtfully maintained throughout the years. In the entry hallway, "an early-Victorian fluted glass door surrounded by stained-glass windows gives a taste of the color and character to come," says the listing agent.
