Summary - Flat 8, 8-10, Ethelbert Terrace CT9 1RX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bedroom flat with balcony and direct sea views — ideal coastal investment..
Direct sea views and balcony with seating
A compact two-bedroom apartment with direct sea views and a balcony overlooking Margate’s seafront. The living room opens via French doors onto a usable balcony, creating a bright social space for relaxing or letting the view work for a rental listing. Both bedrooms are doubles and the property includes an enclosed kitchen and family bathroom.
Sold chain free on a 98-year lease, this leasehold flat is a straightforward buy for an investor or a buyer seeking a second/coastal home. The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with period features and high ceilings; internal character is a selling point. Service charge (£360) and ground rent (£200) are modest for the area.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the flat is small (503 sq ft) and the building walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The local area shows high crime and very high deprivation, factors that will affect rental appeal and resale for some buyers.
This apartment suits an investor wanting a sea-view rental or a buyer after an affordable coastal pied-à-terre. It requires modest updating rather than full refurbishment, but be realistic about ongoing running costs, insulation needs, and the neighbourhood profile when assessing value.
