This spacious first-floor three-bedroom flat in The Gateway offers expansive sea, harbour and castle views from a triple-aspect position — rare for apartments in the development. At about 1,152 sq ft it is one of the largest units here, with a large lounge opening to a front balcony, a separate dining room, rear enclosed balcony and a private garage. The apartment is chain free and sold with a share of the freehold, making it attractive for buyers who want immediate possession.
Practical positives include a garage, lift access, useful storage room on the ground floor and a layout that places sea views in every bedroom. The communal service charge covers heating and hot water through a community scheme, plus lift and building maintenance. Transport links are strong: Dover Priory station, the port and local shops including a nearby St James retail hub are all within easy reach.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations. The lease currently sits at about 83 years — the vendor states an extension is being processed but this must be confirmed and completed before exchange. The annual service charge (£6,976) is above average and includes communal heating; ground rent is nominal. The building is system-built with assumed no cavity insulation and uses a community heating scheme; energy rating is D (68). Local crime levels are very high and the wider area shows significant deprivation, which may affect long‑term value and insurance costs.
This property suits buyers seeking spacious sea‑view accommodation near transport and amenities — families, downsizers who want easy access to town and coast, or investors aware of the lease and service-charge implications. Interested parties should commission their own surveys, verify the lease-extension progress and review service-charge accounts and communal maintenance history before proceeding.
