Stylish Two Double Bedroom Ground Floor Flat with Gardens & Driveway - Ready to Move Into
Situated in a quiet residential spot on Old Crossing Road, this well-presented two double bedroom ground floor flat offers generous living space, private outside areas and the holy grail of coastal living - your own driveway.
The property is ready to move straight into, benefiting from double glazing and gas central heating, making it an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors looking for something low-fuss and high-appeal.
Inside, the layout works brilliantly. A spacious lounge provides a comfortable setting for relaxing or entertaining, while the separate kitchen keeps cooking smells firmly out of the sofa zone. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, home working or sharers, and the bathroom is neatly tucked away off the hall.
Outside, you'll find both front and rear gardens, perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks or a bit of low-maintenance greenery. Add in off-street parking via the private driveway, and this home punches well above its weight for the area.

Location Highlights
Margate has firmly shaken off its sleepy seaside reputation and is now one of Kent's most vibrant coastal towns. From sandy beaches and scenic coastal walks to the iconic Turner Contemporary Gallery and the buzzing Old Town, there's no shortage of culture, cafés, independent shops and restaurants to explore.
Everyday essentials are close at hand, with supermarkets, local shops and amenities all within easy reach. Families will appreciate a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, while commuters are well served by Margate railway station, offering direct services to London St Pancras and Victoria in approximately 1 hour 30-50 minutes. There are also excellent rail and bus links along the Kent coast to Broadstairs, Ramsgate and beyond.
