Summary - 81 FLAT 5 NORTHDOWN ROAD MARGATE CT9 2RJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bed with coastal views — long lease and chain-free.
Far-reaching sea views from open-plan lounge kitchen
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with far-reaching sea views, positioned between high street amenities and the beach. The open-plan lounge/kitchen faces the coast and brings natural light into a compact living space. Chain-free sale and a long lease (approx. 150 years) make this an accessible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor.
The building is a Victorian mixed-use property with period character, double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Service charge and ground rent are modest (around £360pa and £100pa) and council tax is low, helping keep running costs down.
Expect a small overall footprint (approx. 482 sq ft) and modest ceiling heights in parts. The flat sits on the third floor with communal stairs only — no lift — which may limit accessibility. The local area is lively and cosmopolitan but has very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived; buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
This property suits buyers seeking an affordable coastal base to renovate and personalise, or investors targeting short-term holiday lets or long-term rentals. Broadband speeds are average and the location is well served by public transport links to Margate station and nearby attractions, including the Old Town and Turner Contemporary.
