Summary - 111 THE GATEWAY DOVER CT16 1LH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bedroom fifth-floor flat with dual balconies, long lease and included heating — great commuter links.
Sea views from two front balconies
This fifth-floor, two-bedroom flat in The Gateway offers clear sea views and a ready-to-live-in layout suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers. The large open lounge/diner opens onto two front balconies that capture coastal views, and the property benefits from direct lift access and an allocated storage cupboard on the landing. The long lease (over 1,000 years) and a share of the freehold give ownership stability.
The development provides a community heating and hot-water scheme included in the annual service charge, which also covers lift, garden and communal maintenance, cleaning, caretaker and rubbish chute. The accommodation is practical: fitted kitchen, enclosed rear balcony, wet room plus a separate WC, and double glazing installed after 2002.
Prospective buyers should note the above-average service charge of £5,322.08 per year despite heating inclusion, and parking is by permit on a first-come, first-served basis. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation; while the EPC is a respectable C (69), some buyers may want to check insulation and communal maintenance history.
Location is a major asset: the town centre, shops at St James, the seafront and Dover Priory station (fast link to London St Pancras ~1 hour 6 minutes) are all within easy reach. Council Tax is in Band C, and although the immediate area faces higher crime and relative deprivation, the flat’s coastal position, transport links and service-included running costs represent solid practical value.
