History Of North Foreland Estate:
North Foreland Estate evolved from ancient headland to grand Victorian private residences, including connections to figures like Lord Curzon and Sir Oswald Mosley, featuring grand houses and private cliff-top paths.
The area attracted wealthy families seeking seclusion, with substantial and extravagant homes built, some with private beach access via chalk-cut steps.
Lord Holland developed nearby Kingsgate as a grand estate, later Lord Northcliffe (Alfred Harmsworth) purchased large tracts, including the lighthouse fields, to develop the prestigious North Foreland golf course which was founded in 1903.

Location:
The desirable coastal town of Broadstairs with its quaint fisherman’s cottages and array of period architecture is arguably the jewel in Thanet’s Crown and has the Latin motto of 'Stella Maris', meaning 'Star of the Sea'.
Charles Dickens was a frequent visitor to Broadstairs, where he had a summer residence, known as Bleak House, and it was here that he is said to have written David Copperfield. John Buchan also resided here for a short time, and some believe that his book, 'The Thirty Nine Steps', was named after the set of steps that lead to the beach from North Foreland Estate. Of further interest is North Foreland Lighthouse which dates back to the 17th century and is apparently the last manned lighthouse in the country.
Broadstairs is also well known for its Blue Flag award winning sandy beaches, whilst the town also offers a good range of facilities, boutique shops, well regarded restaurants and cinema, together with those found at Westwood Cross shopping centre.
