Flat 5, Devonia Hall, Beresford Gardens, Margate, CT9 3AJ

Set within Devonia Hall, one of Cliftonville's distinguished Edwardian landmarks, this generously proportioned one-bedroom apartment is offered with no forward chain at a guide price of £175,000, making it an ideal seaside retreat, first-time purchase or investment.

Extending to approximately 828 sq ft, the property is entered via a welcoming hallway before opening into a separate lounge, a fitted kitchen with space for white goods and a table and chairs, a double bedroom and a bathroom with a panelled bath and overhead shower.

Further benefits include a newly fitted boiler and a long lease with approximately 945 years remaining, alongside a service charge that includes buildings insurance.

Believed to date from around 1912, Devonia Hall was originally built as an exclusive collection of serviced apartments for affluent Londoners seeking a stay by the sea, before later being converted into just eleven apartments.

The building retains a wonderful sense of period grandeur, with a sweeping original staircase and an impressive communal entrance hall where residents can still enjoy a fascinating black and white photograph of the building and its grounds as they appeared over a century ago.

Perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Cliftonville has to offer, Walpole Bay and Palm Bay are within easy walking distance, along with the ever-popular Margate Old Town and a fantastic selection of independent cafés, restaurants and bars, as well as the vibrant Northdown Road, now one of Thanet's most sought-after destinations for food, drink and independent shopping.

With no forward chain, this property is not expected to be available for long, so early viewing is highly recommended.
