Set just steps from Sandgate’s seafront, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment in a listed Georgian building offers affordable coastal living and clear renovation potential. The apartment has a separate kitchen, bright living room and double bedroom across about 453 sq ft — a manageable, well-located home for a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking rental income.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (991 years) and a Joint Freehold arrangement, and it is being sold via the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers’ fees, a non-refundable reservation fee and an undisclosed reserve price apply; prospective purchasers must review the Buyer Information Pack and allow time for auction completion rules and costs.
The flat does not have direct sea views but sits moments from the beach, promenade and local amenities. As a listed building, any external or historically sensitive works may be restricted and could complicate alterations; internal modernisation is likely required to achieve contemporary finishes. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the location benefits from very low crime and an affluent local area.
This is an attractive entry-level coastal purchase for someone comfortable with an auction process and willing to carry out cosmetic updating. It represents strong value for Sandgate’s seafront location, but buyers should budget for fees, check listed-building constraints and complete full due diligence before bidding.
