Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with direct sea views from the lounge, situated on Northdown Road in Margate. The building retains Victorian character externally and the flat offers a practical layout with a through hall, fitted kitchen and a single bathroom. The property measures about 840 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
Important practical notes: the current lease has 65 years remaining — mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this term. The seller intends to extend the lease to 99 years on completion; buyers should confirm the extension terms, costs and timing. EPC rating E and the area records higher crime levels and very high deprivation, which may affect resale and insurance costs.
This apartment suits a cash buyer, buy-to-let investor or someone seeking a seaside pied-à-terre who values the view and location over immediate turnkey refinement. There is potential to create an outside roof terrace (subject to consents) and modest cosmetic updating would add value. Photos are virtually staged; viewing is recommended to assess condition and layout in person.
