Summary - Flat 12, Martin Neame House 8-9, Marine Parade CT20 1PX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ready for holiday lets with strong seaside appeal and long lease.
Panoramic sea views across the promenade and beach
Perched on the fifth floor of a grand period parade, this two-bedroom flat delivers direct, panoramic sea views and strong short‑let potential. The apartment offers a large open-plan lounge/diner, two double bedrooms and a practical kitchen within a 790 sq ft layout — attractive for holiday lets or a coastal rental. Share of freehold and a long lease (circa 120 years) provide security for buyers and landlords.
The building retains Victorian character — high ceilings, full‑height bay windows and wrought‑iron balconies — which helps marketability to guests and tenants. AirBnB and holiday letting are permitted, increasing income options. Mobile signal is excellent and the property fronts the promenade and beach, a primary draw for visitors.
Buyers should note the urban context: the local area is very deprived and recorded crime levels are very high, factors that may affect long‑term tenant demand and insurance costs. Heating is electric via room heaters and broadband speeds are average. The current service charge is approximately £1,227 per year; council tax band is described as cheap.
Price at £200,000 positions this as an accessible coastal investment or an affordable seaside home. The flat is best suited to investors seeking short‑term rental income or first‑time buyers wanting a character-filled seaside base, provided they accept the town centre location and running costs associated with electric heating and service charges.
