Summary - Flat 5, 8 Fort Crescent CT9 1HN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Front-row sunsets close to Old Town culture and transport.
Second-floor Georgian flat with uninterrupted sea views
Perched on the second floor of a Georgian terrace, this compact one-bedroom flat offers uninterrupted coastal outlooks and bright, airy rooms. The open-plan living/kitchen is laid out to maximise the view and natural light, while a separate utility room adds useful storage and practical convenience.
Practical running costs are straightforward: electric room heaters, a service charge of £876pa and a small ground rent of £200pa. The property is leasehold, totals about 364 sq ft and carries an EPC rating of D. Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls, the building likely lacks modern cavity insulation — some thermal upgrades would improve comfort and running costs.
Location is a clear selling point: you are moments from Margate Old Town, the Turner Contemporary and sandy beaches, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for work or streaming. Local amenities and transport are within easy reach, although the wider area records high crime and significant deprivation; buyers should weigh local social factors alongside the property’s coastal appeal.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry to seaside living or an investor targeting holiday lets or short-term lets who values a front-row aspect. The space is small and requires modest upgrading for long-term comfort, but the panoramic outlook and proximity to cultural attractions deliver genuine lifestyle and rental potential.
