Location

Ramsgate is a vibrant coastal town within the Thanet District with a population of approximately 42,000. Steeped in maritime history and regency architecture, the town offers sandy beaches, coastline scenery and heritage attractions, all connected via HS1 with journey times to London in around 1 hour.

The property is to be constructed adjacent to The Clock House, a Grade II* listed building situated at the entrance to the East Pier and East Cross Wall in Ramsgate's Royal Harbour. With its original construction dating back to 1817 it forms one of the only remaining historical harbour buildings and plays a key role in the heritage offering of the town.

Description

The restoration and construction of a stand-alone café represents a transformative regeneration project for Ramsgate Royal Harbour, made possible through investment awarded by central government. The project addresses the need to protect existing museum collections while creating public spaces.

The café will form a stand-alone extension to the Clock House to be constructed to Shell & Core specification to include the following:

- Disability Compliant WC provisions
- Secure External Boundary Fencing
- New Dedicated Electricity Supply
- Outdoor Garden Terrace with External Lighting
- Solar Panels
- Designated Waste Storage
- Fire Detection Provisions

The building is to be constructed to host 32 covers, not including those on the Garden Terrace (subject to the necessary consents).
