Set on the first floor in the heart of Margate Old Town, this one-bedroom apartment offers immediate vacant possession and genuine sea views from a large front room. The apartment is compact but practical, with a double bedroom, bathroom and a modern-styled kitchen. The long lease (circa 957 years) and share of freehold provide ownership security uncommon at this price point.
Its location is the principal draw: an easy stroll to Margate Sands, cafes, galleries and a 0.6-mile walk to the train station. For a first-time buyer wanting a coastal lifestyle or a buyer seeking a lettable holiday base, the apartment’s position and outlook create strong lifestyle appeal.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The building dates from the 1950–66 period with assumed cavity walls and no added wall insulation. The EPC is D. The neighbourhood has high crime and is very deprived, and the local demographic and constrained-renter profile may affect long-term rental demand and resale. Service charge is reported at around £1,000 (details unknown) and the kitchen is small compared with the main living space.
Overall this is an affordable entry into Margate’s Old Town with sea views and a secure long lease, best suited to buyers prioritising seaside access and location over a larger internal footprint or a fully modernised specification.
