A compact, chain-free one-bedroom flat with sea views, offered with a long lease and share of the freehold—well suited to investors or a low-maintenance holiday let. The flat occupies a second-floor position in a Georgian terrace close to Dover town centre, port and rail links, giving straightforward rental appeal and convenient access to London via Dover Priory.
Inside, the accommodation is efficiently arranged across approximately 345 sq ft. The living room benefits from front and side windows with views over the Eastern Docks and the sea. A modern fitted kitchen and a fully tiled shower room mean the property is habitable and rentable immediately. EPC rating C (71) supports reasonable running costs, and council tax sits in Band A.
Practical strengths include a 999-year lease (979 years remaining), share of freehold, peppercorn ground rent and a below-average annual service charge of £961.36 (paid half-yearly, includes building insurance). Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to its appeal for short-term or longer lets.
Buyers should note the flat is small and will suit single occupants or couples rather than families. The building is an older solid-brick construction; insulation is assumed absent and the property uses a community heating scheme. The surrounding area shows higher crime and deprivation indices, which may affect rental values and tenant profiles. These factors, plus routine maintenance of an older period façade, should be considered alongside the property’s clear rental and holiday-home potential.
