Summary - 76 THE GATEWAY DOVER CT16 1LQ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free one-bedroom with two balconies, parking and walkable links to station and shops.
Chain free top-floor flat with direct sea and castle views
This chain-free top-floor flat occupies a mid-20th-century block and offers direct sea and castle outlooks from both front and rear balconies. The living space includes a long lounge/diner, separate kitchen, one double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a ground-floor store room. The property is 596 sqft and benefits from permit parking and walkable access to shops, the port and Dover Priory station.
Important practical points: the lease has approximately 82 years remaining and will need prompt attention. The annual service charge is £4,044.96 (above average) and covers communal heating and hot water; broadband speeds are slow and the building is likely without wall insulation. The front balcony also serves as a fire escape for the blocks — a useful escape route but one to note for safety and management considerations.
The flat suits a buyer seeking seaside views and convenient transport links without immediate chain pressure — ideal for a first-time purchaser or downsizer who accepts some communal upkeep. Energy Performance is E (42) and the building’s construction era means there may be further updating required over time. Local area crime levels are reported as very high, so check personal security and insurance implications.
Viewing will show where a modest refurbishment could improve comfort and energy efficiency while preserving the apartment’s key selling points: sea-facing aspects, dual balconies and a sizeable lounge/diner. Legal checks should confirm lease extension costs and service charge provisions before exchange.
