Set on the cliff tops of Cliftonville, this compact two-bedroom duplex offers straightforward letting potential and a private rear garden. Recently renovated, the flat is presented with a modern kitchen and bathroom, double glazing and vacant possession — ready for an investor or buyer who wants immediate occupation or rental income.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with a long lease (125 years from 2015, c.115 years remaining), a share of the freehold, and a below-average service charge. It will be sold at public auction on 27 November 2025; buyers should note the 10% deposit, non-refundable buyer’s fee and that contracts are binding at sale.
Be realistic about running costs and improvement scope. Heating is by electric room heaters, the EPC is rated E, and the building has solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the area records higher crime and significant deprivation — factors to consider for owner-occupiers and when assessing rental yield or refurbishment budgets.
On the positive side, the location is a strong value driver: a period terrace building on the seafront with easy access to Margate’s amenities and good mobile signal. The property’s small footprint and fresh presentation make it manageable for a landlord or a first-time buyer seeking a compact home with outside space.
