Summary - SANDPIPER COURT FLAT 19 FORT HILL MARGATE CT9 1PD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Walk to beach, Old Town and station — practical coastal flat for first-time buyers.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment with lift access
This second-floor two-bedroom apartment in Sandpiper Court offers a practical coastal base moments from Margate Old Town and the beach. The block is modern, has lift access and off-street parking, and the flat benefits from a Juliet balcony, built-in kitchen appliances and useful storage cupboards — an easy-to-live-in layout for first-time buyers or landlords seeking city-centre rental demand.
The property is offered with a long remaining lease (107 years) and share of freehold, which reduces some common ownership anxieties. EPC C (current 76) shows reasonable energy performance for an all-electric flat; room heaters provide the main heating so running costs should be considered. Service charge sits around £1,375 per year and council tax is very cheap.
Location is a clear selling point: 0.6 miles to the train station, strong local amenities and immediate access to Margate’s seafront, Pier and Old Town. That convenience supports rental appeal or a compact owner-occupied lifestyle with cafés, shops and leisure on the doorstep.
Be candid about downsides: the neighbourhood scores high for crime and area deprivation, and heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may raise energy bills. There is no private outdoor space. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and inspect communal maintenance levels before committing.
