This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers attractive period character and a sunny southerly garden with a garden room for guests. At about 732 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer or second home seeking a compact town-base near Cliftonville and Margate Old Town.
The house benefits from original features, a welcoming living room with fireplace, and a kitchen/diner. It is freehold and runs on mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are both strong, and local primary and secondary schools rated Good are within easy reach.
Bought as a comfortable starter home, the property does require attention in places: there are signs of a period roof issue and possible damp, the solid brick walls are presumed uninsulated, and double glazing is older (pre-2002). The wider area shows high crime levels and marked deprivation, which may affect resale and living experience.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located terrace with clear potential for value-adding improvements (insulation, roof/damp repairs, cosmetic updating). Its low council tax, town-centre convenience and southerly garden make it a practical, affordable entry into the Margate market for buyers willing to invest in upgrades.
