Step into a bright one-bedroom upper-ground flat in Cliftonville, offered chain-free with vacant possession — ideal for a first home or a buy-to-let starter. The flat benefits from character features such as a bay-windowed living room, high ceilings and original detailing, while modern comforts include double glazing and gas central heating. A south-facing garden and private off-street parking add rare practical value for the area.
The layout is compact and efficient across approximately 495 sq ft: entrance hall with storage, bay-front lounge, double bedroom, fitted kitchen and bathroom with shower-over-bath. The property sits in a Victorian mid-terrace constructed around 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), so buyers should factor in running costs and potential improvement works to boost thermal performance.
This is a straightforward purchase: 120 years remaining on the lease, low service charge (£600) and modest ground rent (£140). Local transport and coastal attractions are within reach, and broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for working from home. Be mindful the immediate neighbourhood scores high for crime and is classed as very deprived; the area suits buyers prioritising price, rental yield potential or renovation upside over quiet streetscape.
For a first-time buyer this flat offers an affordable entry to Margate with character and useful outdoor space. For investors the combination of vacant possession, parking and a south-facing garden supports lettability, though you should allow budget for any cosmetic updating and possible insulation or energy-efficiency improvements.
