Freehold Victorian mid-terrace with two self-contained units
A rare freehold opportunity in Margate: a Victorian mid-terrace currently configured as two self-contained units — a 4-bed maisonette above and a 1-bed ground-floor flat. Both units have original period features, separate services and share a sunny enclosed rear garden. Sold chain-free, the property suits buy-to-let investors, holiday-home purchasers or a family wanting to reinstate a single large house by reinstating the original internal staircase.
The house retains many authentic elements: sash bay windows, ornate ceiling roses, original floorboards and folding internal doors. The maisonette provides generous lounge and dining rooms, kitchen and multiple bedrooms across two upper floors; the ground-floor flat has its own entrance, lounge/kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and garden access — offering immediate rental potential or multi-generational living.
Buyers should note the location and condition realities. The area scores high for local deprivation and recorded crime is very high; prospective buyers should view the neighbourhood in person. The solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and some fittings and finishes will need updating. Reinstating the original staircase or upgrading glazing, heating controls and internal finishes would create strong upside.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low flood risk and a modest council tax band. The property is close to Northdown Road amenities, cafes and is a ten-minute walk from Margate Old Town and the seafront, making it attractive for short-term holiday lets or long-term tenants once modernised.
