Summary -
Flat 3,12 Second Avenue,MARGATE,CT9 2LL
CT9 2LL
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Large third-floor apartment near Margate beach and galleries, ready to move into.
Two double bedrooms, principal with private ensuite
Light-filled and generously proportioned, this third-floor two-bedroom flat occupies one of the largest footprints in Cliftonville at around 971 sqft. The principal bedroom has an ensuite and both bedrooms are doubles, while a roomy reception and separate kitchen with dining space suit everyday living or short-term lets. Interiors are modern and largely move-in ready, making the property practical for first-time owners or buy-to-let investors.
The location is a major draw: a quiet residential street moments from Margate’s vibrant seafront, Turner Contemporary and local cafés. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and direct rail links to London (under 90 minutes) support commuting, holiday lets and flexible working from home. Two good primary schools and higher-performing secondaries are within reach.
Be clear about the material considerations: the flat is leasehold (about 127 years remaining) with a modest ground rent of £50 and a below-average service charge of £465, both reviewed annually. The wider area records higher crime rates and ranks as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental profiles. Some external scaffolding has been noted nearby, suggesting possible building maintenance or restoration works.
Overall, this sizeable seaside-flat offers strong entry-level value and clear rental potential, but buyers should factor in neighbourhood conditions and the usual leasehold costs. A viewing will show whether the space, location and price align with your plans—whether living by the coast or building a rental income stream.
