About the home

Just imagine falling asleep to the sounds of the sea in this beautiful 6-bedroom Victorian townhouse with stunning sea views. located in Littlestone-on-Sea in Kent. There is nothing Victorian about this house which has been tastefully restored with its eclectic mix of antique and contemporary chic interior.
Relax on the balcony and watch the sunrise with its amazing views of Hythe and The White Cliffs of the Folkestone coastline. The French coastline can be seen and viewed through our telescope which is located in the main bedroom.

Thirlmere is located just 15 seconds walk to the beach, on the outskirts of New Romney often referred to as one of Kent’s best kept secrets. Quiet and peaceful, yet only 20 minutes drive to Hythe and Camber Sands. The historic town of Rye is just 30 minutes away. Littlestone has easy access to all amenities, with many excellent restaurants in New Romney and Hythe for eating out.

The South East England / Kent region

The coastline enjoys a unique micro-climate which makes it one of the driest and sunniest places in Britain.

The area has a stark beauty of its own, and also has unique wildlife , which is visible at the Nature reserves at Rye Harbour and Dungeness.

The area around Littlestone is steeped in history which includes Dover Castle: Discover its labyrinth of secret wartime tunnels built deep in the White Cliffs of Dover.
Kent Battle of Britain Museum: The most important collection of battle of britain artefacts on show in the country.
It has its own unique steam railway the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway which runs along the coast. This narrow gauge miniature railway is a great attraction for visitors.
More information on the Service can be obtained from the website:- http://www.rhdr.org.uk/rhdr/home_flash.html

The coast provides the best sandy beaches in the South East of the country, with shallow water allowing safe access for children.

The Littlestone-on-Sea area

There is so much to see and do in the area.

Attractions include: Hythe to Dungeness railway. Take a trip on the smallest public steam railway in the world, which meanders through the famous Romney Marsh flanked by sheep farms.

Visit the famous Lympne Port Wildlife Safari Park.

Littlestone Golf Course is a Championship Links Course laid out on the natural undulating land between the famous Romney Marsh and the English Channel in the South East corner of Kent. The course is presented in superb condition throughout the year and temporary tees and greens are unheard of.
For information about Littlestone golf course go to :- http://www.littlestonegolfclub.org.uk/

The 18 hole Romney Warren Golf Course lies alongside the Championship Littlestone Golf Course and is owned by the members of Littlestone. Three and four balls are always welcome on Romney Warren and it is possible to arrange a day's golf over both courses. Details of Romney Warren can be found at www.romneywarrengolfclub.org.uk.

Both courses are 5 minutes walk from Thirlmere.

On the 16th July 1927, the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway (RHDR) a narrow gauge railway was opened, Littlestone lies about 1/2 mile south of the main headquarters of the railway at New Romney . During 1928, the nameboards at the New Romney station were changed to read "Littlestone-on-Sea" in an effort to emphasise the railway's seaside location.

The railway was built by Captain J. E. P. Howey and Count Louis Zborowski to serve the local population and tourist trade, it stretches for nearly 14 miles from Hythe through Dymchurch, St Marys Bay, its base at New Romney, Romney Sands and then to the fishermens cottages and lighthouses at Dungeness. It is still a major tourist attraction and well worth a visit. http://www.rhdr.org.uk/rhdr/home_flash.html

Out to sea, lies a section of the Concrete Mulberry Harbour built during 1944 for the Dunkirk landings in the Second World War. This section became detached from its tug and drifted back to Littlestone. This platform is clearly visible from our photographs.
