Compact top-floor 1-bed duplex near Queenborough Harbour with parking and good commuter links.
Top-floor 1‑bed duplex with period features and exposed beams
A compact, characterful top-floor duplex in Hogarth House, offering period features with practical modern updates. The one-bedroom layout is arranged over two floors, with a bright lounge and separate fitted kitchen on the lower level and a generous double bedroom and contemporary bathroom above. Exposed roof beams, sash-style frontage and high ceilings add historic charm.
Practical positives include off-street parking, double glazing fitted post-2002, low flood risk and very cheap council tax — helpful running-cost factors for a first-time buyer. The apartment is well placed for coastal life: Queenborough Harbour is nearby and Sheerness beaches and local shops are within easy reach. Commuters benefit from a train station and bus stop about five minutes’ walk away and good road links via the A249 to the A2/M2.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold with 98 years remaining, heated by electric room heaters (no central heating), and the building has solid brick walls assumed without cavity insulation. The local area records high crime levels and significant deprivation, which may affect resale and rental prospects. The apartment’s total footprint is small (approx. 465 sq ft), suited to a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let investor rather than a family.
Overall, this duplex is a sensible, affordable entry point to seaside living with character and commuter convenience. It suits a buyer who values period charm and location, and who accepts modest space and some limitations on heating and neighbourhood profile.
