A bright ground-floor apartment with two double bedrooms set inside the Royal Seabathing complex, a short walk from Margate beach and high-speed rail links to London. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner creates a flexible living space suited to first-time buyers or weekend-escape owners. Allocated off-street parking and a secure gated entrance add everyday convenience and peace of mind.
The flat comes with an exceptionally long lease (988 years), making it a stable long-term purchase. Interiors are presented in good order with double glazing and a modern bathroom; the layout is efficient at about 639 sq ft. Service charge and ground rent apply (service charge approx. 3,211 pa; ground rent 250 pa), so factor ongoing costs into your budget.
Practical considerations: heating is electric via room heaters rather than a central gas system, and broadband speeds are average. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and local crime is high, which may influence suitability for some buyers. Council tax band C is affordable.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking seaside living with excellent transport links, or an investor wanting a long-lease asset close to local amenities. It’s largely move-in ready but consider the running costs and local area profile when deciding if this is the right fit.
