Move-in ready coastal flat ideal for first-time buyers or holiday use.
Chain-free second-floor apartment with freehold and 995-year lease
Set on the second floor of a Georgian terraced building, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers bright, open-plan living just a short walk from Margate's sandy beach, shops and restaurants. The generous lounge/kitchen and high ceilings deliver a roomy, airy feel, and the long lease (995 years) with freehold tenure gives secure ownership and future flexibility.
This property suits first-time buyers or those seeking a seaside bolt-hole; the layout is move-in ready for immediate occupation or simple cosmetic updating to suit personal taste. Practical benefits include double glazing, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a low service charge.
Buyers should note important area and building factors: the local area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental prospects. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and likely lacks wall insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work should be considered. The apartment has a single shower room and modest bedroom sizes, reflecting its compact, efficient footprint.
All details should be independently verified, including appliances, services and any planning or building consents for conversions. This is a straightforward, affordable entry into Margate’s coastal market for buyers prepared to accept the trade-offs of location and period property maintenance.
