Summary - Flat 1 York House, 294, London Road CT17 0SY
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Turn-key two-bed flat with 999-year lease and private outside area.
Newly renovated lower-ground two-bedroom flat
A newly renovated two-bedroom lower-ground flat set within a Grade II Georgian townhouse on London Road, offering turn-key living for first-time buyers. The flat combines modern finishes — laminate floors, new oven and hob, fresh paint — with period features such as high ceilings and curved bay frontage visible in the building exterior. Internally there is a useful utility room, a generous lounge, modern bathroom and a small private outside area for bistro seating.
Practical ownership benefits include a new 999-year lease and a below-average service charge of £500 per annum. The property sits close to Dover Priory station for fast rail links to London, local shops and a range of schools including a nearby Outstanding girls’ grammar school. At about 785 sq ft overall, the layout is a traditional plan with three main rooms and two double bedrooms to the front.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building’s listed status may restrict external and some internal alterations and could complicate permissions and maintenance. The neighbourhood scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived, which may influence resale values and insurance costs. The building is of solid brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation, and the flat occupies the lower-ground level, which may affect light and perceptions of security.
This property suits buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance entry into Dover with long lease security and good transport links. It presents immediate occupancy with potential to personalise within listed-building limits, but buyers should factor in the listed-status constraints and local area challenges when assessing longer-term plans.
