Set in the heart of Whitstable, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment combines central convenience with practical income potential. The flat occupies a mid-terrace, pre-1900 building and offers a private garden, off-street parking for at least two vehicles, and easy walking access to the harbour, shops and cafés.
With an unusually long 985-year lease and peppercorn ground rent, the tenure is straightforward for buyers. The property is presented in good order with gas central heating, double glazing and an estimated rental value of up to £1,200 pcm — making it attractive to buy-to-let or holiday-let investors looking for a low-fuss central seaside asset.
Buyers should note material points plainly: sale is for cash buyers only, the area records very high crime levels, and the flat contributes 35% of insuring and repairing costs for the building as they arise (no fixed service charge). The building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so future owners may wish to budget for energy-efficiency upgrades.
Overall, this apartment offers a compact, well-located seaside investment with parking and garden — a practical purchase for cash investors or those seeking a holiday-let base. Factor in the high-crime local statistics and shared repair liabilities when assessing yield and ongoing costs.
