This compact two-bedroom period property sits within walking distance of Margate’s Old Town, harbour and sandy beach, offering a convenient coastal lifestyle for a first-time buyer. The house is chain free and freehold, with two generous reception rooms that give flexibility for home working, dining and entertaining. A modern shower room and double-glazed windows (install date unknown) reduce immediate maintenance needs inside.
Character details remain throughout the house, and a cellar provides practical storage or the potential for conversion subject to consents. The home is efficient to heat via mains gas boiler and radiators and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile reception — useful for remote working and streaming.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: records list the building as constructed before 1900 and of solid brick with no known insulation, which may mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. The area is classified as very deprived with high local crime, and the plot is very small, limiting outdoor space. Also, there is a discrepancy in the listing describing the property both as detached and mid-terrace; prospective buyers should verify the exact building form in legal enquiries.
Overall, this property suits a first-time purchaser or couple seeking quick entry to the Margate market who value location, period character and flexible living space, and who are prepared to invest modestly in insulation or external space solutions if desired.
