2 bed flat for sale

Hereward House, Gordon Road, Cliftonville, Margate CT9

Offered for sale with no forward chain - Set on the ground floor of an attractive period building in Gordon Road, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom flat offers stylish, thoughtfully finished accommodation in a convenient Cliftonville location. The property has been updated with a strong eye for detail, combining contemporary fittings with the proportions and character of the original building.

The standout space is the open-plan kitchen and living room, extending to over 17 feet at its widest point and centred around a broad bay window that brings plenty of natural light into the room. There is space for both seating and dining, while the kitchen has been finished with deep green cabinetry, brass-toned handles and fittings, contrasting tiled splashbacks and a breakfast bar with seating for three. Integrated appliances and generous storage help keep the space practical as well as visually striking.

The main bedroom is a comfortable double with fitted storage and soft tone neutral finishes. The second bedroom is more compact but has been cleverly arranged with a built-in bunk bed, making it particularly useful as a child’s room, occasional bedroom, dressing room or home office.

The bathroom has also been finished to a high standard, with large-format marble-effect tiling, a bath with overhead rainfall shower, a wall-mounted vanity unit, contemporary sanitaryware and brass-toned fittings. Herringbone-style lvt flooring runs through much of the flat, complemented by modern column radiators, contrasting dark internal doors and carefully chosen lighting.

The accommodation extends to approximately 467 sq ft and is arranged around a central hallway with built-in storage in both bedrooms. The flat is offered with a leasehold title and the current owner is in the process of extending the lease for the benefit of the new owner.

Gordon Road is well placed for Cliftonville’s growing collection of independent cafés, shops and creative businesses, while the seafront, Walpole Bay, Margate Old Town, Turner Contemporary and Margate station are all within easy reach. This is a smart, ready-to-enjoy home that would suit buyers looking for a stylish coastal base, a first purchase or a well-presented low-maintenance property close to the centre of Margate.

Hereward House has an interesting history, having originally formed part of the former Hereward Hotel, which by the 1920s occupied a significant section of Gordon Road. Following the decline of the domestic holiday market, the hotel later closed and the buildings were converted into flats. More recently, the building has been given a new lease of life, with extensive improvement works carried out inside and out, including refurbishment of the flats, repainting of the Victorian façades and railings, improvements to the rear area and wider management of the block.
