TMS Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market the Old Telegraph Cable Hut situated at Dumpton Gap, Broadstairs.

To the rear of the building you will find the garden with patio area perfect for alfresco dining. There is planning for a 2 storey, 1 bedroom house with with bi-fold doors to the 1st floor overlooking the bay and a secluded private garden which will enjoy spectacular sunrises. Once converted this unique property will become a perfect holiday home, holiday let or a small business.

Dumpton Gap was identified as a suitable site for the Submarine Telegraph Company and by the early 1900's it was a fully-functioning telegraph station. The large telegraph cable sign faces out to sea to warn ships of the many telecommunication cables criss-crossing the seabed to the Continent. In 1918 telegrams and telephone calls will have been passed through Dumpton Gap's cable hut during the first world war. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history !

Situated on the clifftops of Dumpton, The Old Cable Hut is just a short walk to the sandy beach of Dumpton Gap where you can enjoy lazy sunny days, swimming or chilling at the local coffee shop. Why not take a walk across the sands when the tide is low to Ramsgate with its Royal Harbour and many shops & restaurants or Broadstairs in the opposite direction where you can enjoy festivals of food, the dickens festival and the legendary folk week.

This really is a property not to be missed, It is a perfect opportunity for someone who wants to create their own special seaside home, small business premises or holiday let.
