Set on the first floor of a well-kept mid‑20th century block in Sandgate, this two-bedroom apartment offers reliable, comfortable coastal living with striking panoramic views across the English Channel. The generous lounge/diner opens onto a south‑facing balcony that captures sunlight and sea breezes, while the modern fitted kitchen and two shower rooms provide ready-to-live-in convenience. Triple glazing and a gas boiler with radiators help keep the apartment efficient and bright.
Practical ownership is strong: a share of freehold, 116 years remaining on the lease and no ground rent give long-term security, while an allocated parking space plus a nearby garage add significant convenience. Communal gardens are well tended and the block sits close to the seafront, local shops, pubs and good schools, with fast rail links to London and easy road access to the M20 and Dover.
Costs and maintenance are straightforward but should be noted. The current service charge is £2,352.80 per year, payable quarterly, and communal upkeep is managed through this fund. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so some elements are mid‑century in style and may suit buyers happy with that period character or looking to update to personal taste.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a low‑maintenance coastal home or a downsizer wanting sea views and parking. It is offered chain free, so an early viewing will quickly confirm whether the balance of location, outlook and turnkey condition meets your needs.
