This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers an immediate move-in option in Cliftonville. The front lounge benefits from a bay window and good natural light, while the cosy double bedroom has useful built-in storage. The kitchen leads directly to a private rear garden — a rare outside space for a town-centre flat.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: a 100-year lease remains, double glazing was installed after 2002, mains gas boiler and radiators provide heating, and council tax is very low. The apartment has its own private entrance and measures approximately 551 sq ft, presented in a traditional layout with period character retained in the building.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The property sits in an area classified as very deprived with higher local crime levels, which will affect long‑term desirability and insurance costs. Service charges average £1,850pa and ground rent is £220pa; the flat is leasehold. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack installed cavity insulation and may benefit from energy improvements.
Location is a selling point for central living: local amenities, eateries and transport links are nearby, with Margate Old Town and cultural attractions within easy reach. For a buyer seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in base with garden access and period appeal, this flat represents practical value — though budgeting for ongoing service charges, potential energy upgrades and the neighbourhood context is essential.
