No chain - private garden - share of freehold



Spacious, period, ground floor apartment just 150 yards from Northdown Road and could be sold fully furnished. This stunning apartment, housed in a converted Victorian schoolhouse, was previously owned by a talented set designer, Robert Lever, who has used his creative flair to not only enhance the many original period features from the cast iron fireplace to the ornate ceiling roses, original floorboards and sash windows but has managed to seamlessly combine modern living. The current owner, a lifestyle and interiors journalist, made additional stylish improvements to the bathroom and kitchen, with retro marmoleum flooring, a solid wood kitchen and high-spec appliances. It benefits from a gated side entrance via the private courtyard garden with a bike storage unit and shed, a kitchen/breakfast room with solid wood worktops and a premium brand water softener. There is also a bespoke bathroom, double bedroom with a sash window to the rear, basement storage area and a generous open plan lounge/diner with a large bay window to the front. This property is just perfect for those wanting a holiday home/investment or permanent residence as it's close to local amenities and just a 5 minute walk to Margate's popular Walpole tidal pool.
