This extended mid-terrace Victorian house on Milton Avenue offers a rare blank canvas in a popular Margate residential street. The property has a double-storey rear extension (early 1990s), two reception rooms, a lean-to/utility and two double bedrooms, delivering practical accommodation across roughly 847 sq ft for a first home or investor project.
The house has genuine period character—the bay-fronted lounge and high ceilings are intact—but it needs full updating throughout. Expect a complete refurbishment: cosmetic renewal, systems checks, and likely upgrades to kitchen, bathroom and finishes. Heating is by a gas-fired boiler located in the bathroom and mains services are connected, but no service appliances have been tested.
Externally there is a low-maintenance rear garden and a small forecourt. The freehold tenure and vacant possession simplify purchase. The location benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby good primary and secondary schools, making it suitable for young families or buy-to-let investors seeking rental demand in the area.
Important negatives are clear: the property requires total refurbishment, sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates, and occupies a small plot. These factors affect financing and insurance options and should be weighed against the low asking price and renovation potential.
