Summary - Oxford Mansions Oxford Mansions Oxford Mansions Nelson Road, Whitstable, Kent, CT5 CT5 1DW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact seaside base with long lease and bike storage.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment on second floor
A compact one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Whitstable, offered chain-free with a very long lease. Situated on the second floor of Oxford Mansions, the flat delivers a bright open-plan living space, a double bedroom to the rear, and sea glimpses from the lounge. Allocated ground-floor storage caters for bikes and paddleboards — useful for coastal living and commuters alike.
Practical running costs include an average service charge of £2,450 and ground rent of £331. The flat totals about 316 sq ft, so rooms are modest and best suited to a single occupant or couple. The property is leasehold with 984 years remaining and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Flood risk is low and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Notable negatives are the small internal size and the relatively high service charge for a one-bed. The block sits in an area recorded with very high crime, which buyers should consider alongside local amenities and transport links. The building appears well-maintained externally, but internal upgrades or personalisation may be desirable if you prefer modern finishes.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer seeking a town-centre seaside base, an investor after easy rental potential, or someone looking for a holiday pied-à-terre with straightforward access to Whitstable’s restaurants, beaches and train links to London.
