Set within a restored Georgian chapel on Hawley Square, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat blends period character with contemporary, sustainable finishes. The current owner — an interior designer — has completed a sympathetic full refurbishment: cork flooring, energy-efficient radiators, a bespoke D-Tile worktop, and a modern bathroom and kitchen installed four years ago. French doors open to a quiet side street and the flat looks directly onto the picturesque square, with Dane Park and the seafront about 0.3 miles away.
Practical details suit buyers looking for a ready-to-move-in home or a stylish pied-à-terre. The apartment is chain-free, has 105 years remaining on the lease and an average service charge of about £1,083 every six months (ground rent £200 per year). Transport links are good — Margate station is roughly 0.6 miles on foot with regular services to London — and local amenities and cultural venues are within easy walking distance.
Important considerations are factual and material. The building is listed, which may complicate alterations and planning and is noted as likely to cause difficulties; EWS1 is not applicable. The area scores as very deprived with relatively high crime levels, and the property is in EPC band D. Service charge and ground rent apply, and some original fabric (solid brick walls) has no added insulation. These points matter for future alteration costs, energy running costs and mortgage or insurer queries.
Overall, this is a thoughtfully refurbished period flat with genuine design detail and easy access to Margate’s Old Town, seafront and transport. It will suit a buyer who values interior quality and location but is comfortable with leasehold ownership in a listed building and the neighbourhood realities.
