Set on the first floor of Sir John Moore Court, this two-bedroom apartment offers direct sea views and a compact, practical layout across about 627 sq ft. The property is vacant and chain-free, with allocated off-street parking, gas central heating and double glazing already in place.
The flat requires full updating and cosmetic renovation throughout, which presents clear potential to add value for a buyer willing to invest time and budget. The lease has around 81 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,560 a year—important considerations for financing and any mortgage offer.
Located on Sandgate High Street, local shops, cafés and pubs are an easy walk away, with good local schools and very low crime levels nearby. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. There is no flooding risk and the wider area is relatively affluent, making this a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a seaside project.
Buyers should note the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the exterior walls are cavity-built with no assumed retrofit insulation. This, plus the need for general refurbishment and the limited lease length, are the material drawbacks to weigh against the location and sea-view potential.
