Summary - HIGHCLIFFE HALL, 16 FLAT 12A EASTERN ESPLANADE MARGATE CT9 2JB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious two-bed lower-ground flat with private garden, ideal first home or holiday base.
Sea views from private garden and living room bay window
A bright two-bedroom lower-ground apartment offering rare private garden and sea views in sought-after Palm Bay. The large living room with a bay window and parquet hardwood floors gives immediate character and comfortable entertaining space. With 905 sqft overall you get generous room sizes, a useful utility area off the kitchen and a spacious bathroom — practical for everyday living or holiday use.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold, a long 106-year lease and a nominal ground rent. The building is Edwardian and retains period features, but construction-era cavity walls likely lack modern insulation; the double glazing was installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are reported slow locally, though mobile signal is excellent.
This flat works well as a first home, seaside retreat or a lock-up-and-leave holiday base. It’s a short walk to the beach, Walpole Bay Lawns and local schools rated Good, making daily life and family visits convenient. Note the average service charge of around £1,200 per year and typical maintenance needs for an older property — factor in potential upgrading for insulation, windows or connectivity if modern efficiency is important.
Overall, the apartment combines period charm, practical space and a private garden with seaside lifestyle potential, but buyers should budget for modest retrofit work to improve energy performance and broadband access.
