Grade II listed — restrictions and potential complications
Leasehold tenure; check lease length and service charges
EPC rating C; mains gas boiler and radiators
Cavity walls likely uninsulated; glazing age unknown

High local crime and very deprived area — affects growth/letting
This compact top-floor flat delivers direct, uninterrupted sea views from a bright 13ft lounge and sits moments from Margate’s beachfront, Turner Contemporary and Old Town amenities. At about 517 sqft with one double bedroom, it suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance holiday base or an entry-level coastal home with strong rental potential.
Practical details are clear: the property is leasehold, Grade II listed and offered with no onward chain. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators, the EPC is C, and council tax band A keeps running costs low. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent — useful for holiday lets or remote working.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status can restrict changes and may complicate some upgrades; the property is leasehold and will have associated costs and rules. The local area scores high for crime and is very deprived, which could affect long-term capital growth and lettings. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the glazing date is unknown, so further energy-efficiency work may be needed.
Overall, this flat is a straightforward opportunity to secure a sea-facing apartment in a prime Margate location. It is best suited to purchasers who prioritise location and views over major renovation, or investors/holiday-users who accept the listed-status constraints and local area considerations.
