A rare second-floor sea-view apartment within the converted Royal Sea Bathing Hospital complex, offered chain free with 981 years remaining on the lease. The apartment has a bright open-plan reception and kitchen that captures direct sea views, a master bedroom with ensuite, a generous second double with bespoke fitted furniture, and one allocated parking space. Residents benefit from gated security staff, well-kept communal gardens and formal terraces.
Practical details are straightforward: long lease, service charge approximately £2,860 per year (£286 pcm), and ground rent £250 per year. The building is Grade II listed, which preserves impressive period features but can also mean extra planning restrictions and potential complications for alterations or maintenance work.
This property will suit a downsizer or buyer seeking a seaside pied-à-terre or a lettable investment close to Margate town and transport links. Note the wider area shows higher deprivation and a high local crime rate; purchasers should factor neighbourhood context into their decision. Heating details are inconsistent in the literature (a mains-gas boiler and radiators are recorded, while internal notes mention electric heating) — buyers should verify the installed systems.
Overall this is a characterful seaside flat with genuine sea views and convenient parking, balanced by listed-building constraints, communal service costs and local area challenges.
