Summary - 19 PARAGON COURT MARGATE CT9 1JB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large two-bedroom seafront flat with private courtyard and long lease.
Sea-front location with sandy beach at end of road
Set directly on Margate’s seafront, this unusually large lower-ground flat combines generous period rooms with a private courtyard and a true coastal location. The apartment has its own entrance, a broad lounge/diner at the front, and two double bedrooms — one opening onto a quiet walled courtyard used solely by the owners. The layout and generous room sizes (approx. 1,291 sq ft) are rare for a seafront flat and suit comfortable full-time living or a high-appeal holiday-let/investment.
Practical details are favourable: a long lease (approximately 176 years remaining), FTTP internet, mains gas central heating and double glazing. The flat is sold chain-free, which can make the sale process quicker. On-plan measurements show a roomy lounge/diner and two double bedrooms, plus substantial hallway storage — a sensible, flexible home near Margate’s harbour, Turner Contemporary and sandy beach.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The building sits in an area recorded as very deprived with higher crime levels, which may affect insurance and long-term rental demand. Service charge and ground rent total roughly £1,620 a year (£1,420 service charge; £200 ground rent). The building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and the property may need energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband is reported slow despite FTTP availability to the building — check specific provider speeds. The flat is lower-ground, so consider natural light and personal access preferences.
Overall this is a sizeable period seafront apartment with strong location value and scope to add value through targeted upgrades. It will suit buyers seeking immediate seafront living, investors looking for holiday-let potential, or anyone wanting generous rooms and a private outdoor courtyard in Margate’s cultural and coastal quarter.
