Summary - 203d, Sandgate Road CT20 2HT
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Spacious retirement-friendly apartment with garden access and garage parking.
Exceptionally large ground-floor apartment with period features
A generously proportioned ground-floor apartment on Sandgate Road offering exceptionally large rooms, period character and direct garden access — an attractive option for those looking to downsize without compromising on space. The apartment's wide entrance hall with stained glass, two double bedrooms, huge lounge/diner and a striking exposed-brick kitchen create a comfortable, sociable home with scope to adapt the layout.
This property is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price for purchasers aged 60+: an illustrative Lifetime Lease guide price of £281,000 (market value £425,000) reflecting typical savings. The plan allows buyers aged 60+ to purchase up to a 50% share, with the actual price depending on age and circumstances. The tenure is share of freehold with a very long lease (approx. 934 years).
Practical positives include a separate utility room, private communal garden with sea views nearby, garage parking and low flooding risk. The apartment is well presented with secondary glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Suitability for retirement living is clear, while the dining area could be converted to a third bedroom or home office subject to planning permission.
Notable points to consider: broadband speeds are slow in the area and the property sits in a relatively deprived area with average crime levels. The building is Edwardian with cavity walls assumed to have no insulation, which may affect running costs. Annual service charge is around £1,884. Buyers should verify all details, including tenure and any conversion permissions, with their solicitor.
