This two-bedroom apartment occupies an upper floor of a post‑war block in central Dover, with two balconies and notable side sea views from the main reception. The layout includes a generous hallway, lounge/dining room with balcony access, a fitted kitchen with its own balcony, two double bedrooms (master with built-in wardrobes) and a family shower room. A lift serves the communal entrance, adding everyday convenience.
Practical points suit buyers who value location and transport: the property is a short walk to Dover train station (fast link to London), the recent St. James retail and leisure development, and the seafront. There are a wide range of local amenities within easy reach, and nearby schools include an outstanding selective girls' grammar and other primary/secondary options.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building is in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime levels, broadband speeds are slow, and walls are assumed to be cavity with no insulation. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme; tenure and council tax details are not provided. The flat offers clear renovation and rental potential but may require investment to improve thermal performance and connectivity.
Overall, this apartment will suit purchasers prioritising coastal town living, transport links and strong rental or resale prospects close to central Dover. It is best viewed by those prepared to manage its urban-area challenges and possible upgrade works.
