About the host
Hosted by Amelia Gregory
I’m a single mum, creative, and lover of trees! I moved from Brick Lane, London to Margate 3 years ago , where I live in a flat overlooking Walpole Bay with my two small children.
I bought Ballarat House to renovate as a holiday home to provide an income for my family, and to support my creative and community endeavours. It has taken two years to bring this beautiful derelict property back to life, and has been the one of the hardest but most rewarding things I’ve ever done.
Every single aspect of the renovation has been lovingly considered and designed to create a unique and vibrant space so that groups of friends and families can enjoy a brilliant holiday in our quirky seaside town.
I trained as a printed textile designer, and designed all the patterned curtains inside the house, inspired by local wildlife on the beaches and in our fields and hedges.
Prior to my move I created the arts publication Amelia’s Magazine and a series of illustration books. Over the past two years I have cofounded two local community groups; Thanet Trees to protect, plant and promote trees in Thanet, and Friends of Cliftonville Coastline, to protect the heritage of our coastline for our community and visitors such as yourselves. Look out for our newly planted flowerbeds when you walk along the coast!
I love taking photos, getting outside, camping, being with my kids, making things, cooking, writing, gardening, being a community activist, discovering new creatives and sharing my finds with others via Amelia’s Magazine (soon to be relaunched) and on social media.
Having spent two years planning and creating my holiday home, I am really excited to finally open the doors of Ballarat House to guests. I live close by and whilst I cannot welcome you in person (being a single mum somewhat limits my availability) I am available at any time to answer your queries and help make your guest experience the best it can be.
