This thoughtfully refurbished lower-ground flat in Trinity Square sits on the edge of Margate’s Old Town and a short walk from the seafront. The one-bedroom, open-plan layout (c.478 sq ft) has been finished with individually sourced fixtures including a bespoke Simon Aspinal kitchen and polished wood floors, and is offered chain-free with a long lease and share of freehold — making it straightforward to buy. The private courtyard provides outdoor space uncommon for a basement apartment and the property can be sold furnished for immediate holiday-let use.
The apartment will suit buyers seeking a turn-key holiday home or an investor targeting short-term lettings. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to Margate’s galleries, cafes and transport links. The long remaining lease (247 years) and share-of-freehold tenure reduce medium-term leasehold costs and uncertainty.
Be realistic about the setting: this is a lower-ground flat in an older Victorian terrace constructed 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and limited original insulation. Although recently renovated, the basement location and image notes indicate potential damp or mould risk typical of garden-level apartments; prospective buyers should commission a damp/structural inspection if concerned. The property sits in an area with high local crime statistics and significant deprivation, which may affect long-term yield and lettings mix.
Overall, this compact, stylish apartment offers immediate rental or holiday-let potential and low entry-price ownership, balanced by the realities of a lower-ground Victorian flat in a high-crime, very deprived neighbourhood. Viewing is recommended to assess the internal finish and courtyard level access personally.
