Step into a practical, chain-free one-bedroom flat at Magpie Lodge — an affordable first-time buy offering immediate move-in potential. The layout separates living and kitchen spaces, giving privacy and a clear plan for personalising the interior. A double bedroom and a decent bathroom complete the compact home, ideal for single buyers or couples seeking simplicity close to town.
Outside, allocated off-street parking and secure communal entry add convenience and low-maintenance living. The building dates from the 1980s with double glazing fitted and cavity walls assumed insulated; the flat is heated by electric storage heaters, which keep installation straightforward but may mean higher running costs compared with gas heating.
Practical points to note: the lease has about 92 years remaining and the average annual service charge is £1,321, so factor these into affordability. Broadband speeds are average locally and the area is classed as ‘hampered aspiration’ with constrained renter dynamics — relevant for buyers considering long-term capital growth or lettings.
Location is a genuine strength: a short journey to Dover town centre, local shops, green spaces and Dover Priory station with direct trains to London. For buyers prioritising transport links and seaside access, this flat pairs affordability with convenience. Overall, it’s a sensible entry-level home or a compact investment with scope to add value through refresh and efficient heating upgrades.
