Set on Broadstairs’ Western Esplanade, this first-floor Victorian apartment delivers uninterrupted sea views and immediate seaside appeal. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a spacious lounge and a kitchen — all with generous proportions and period character from an 1896 build. Communal gardens and proximity to the beach, local amenities and Broadstairs station add to the location’s draw for holiday use or short-let income.
The property is offered chain free and will be sold via a Modern Auction method; buyers should expect a non‑refundable reservation fee and an undisclosed reserve price. The apartment is leasehold (approximately 92 years remaining) with an average annual service charge of around £1,500 and a small ground rent of £175. Council tax is noted as very cheap and there is no flood risk.
Internally the flat requires renovation to bring it up to modern standards — cosmetic and likely more substantial works will be needed, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install age is unknown. This is a clear renovation opportunity for an investor or buyer seeking a stylish seaside home able to benefit from its location and sea views.
