Newly refurbished interior with modern kitchen and integrated appliances
Private rear patio — small outdoor space
Leasehold with 125 years remaining; service charge approx £1,250/year
No allocated parking; on-street parking only
Holiday letting/short-term Airbnb not permitted by lease
Broadband speeds reported slow despite excellent mobile signal
Local area: high crime and very deprived neighbourhood — consider location risk
Set within a handsome Victorian terrace on Norfolk Road, this newly refurbished ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, move‑in ready coastal base. The bay-fronted living room and bedroom deliver strong natural light and high ceilings that preserve the building’s period character while contemporary finishes give the interior a clean, modern feel.
The layout works well for a first-time buyer or couple: a well-proportioned reception room, a long fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a stylish bathroom. Direct access to a private rear patio provides a small outdoor space for morning coffee or potted plants. The property is sold leasehold with a new 125‑year lease and an annual service charge of around £1,250.
Practical considerations are clear and straightforward. There is no allocated parking (on-street only) and holiday letting is not permitted under the lease. Broadband provision is slow in parts of the area despite excellent mobile signal. The wider neighbourhood is an urban cultural mix with higher-than-average crime levels and notable deprivation across the locality, so buyers seeking quieter or more affluent streets may wish to consider this.
Overall, this apartment represents an affordable route into Cliftonville and Margate’s coastal lifestyle: stylish, compact and well finished, suited to first-time buyers, city commuters using rail links to London, or landlords wanting a simple long-term let (subject to lease and local restrictions). Viewings will show the quality of the recent refurbishment and the apartment’s convenience to beaches, cafés and local amenities.
