Ethelbert Square, Westgate-on-Sea, CT8

GUIDE PRICE £300,000 TO £325,000

From the outside, you might expect a conventional apartment. Step inside, though, and this impressive split-level home feels much more like a house, combining generous proportions, character features and a striking vaulted living space within a magnificent period building overlooking Ethelbert Square. The grand exterior, tall windows and elegant architectural detailing create an immediate sense of character, while the apartment offers spacious and individual accommodation arranged across the second floor and mezzanine level.

Offered for sale with NO FORWARD CHAIN and a SHARE OF FREEHOLD, the main living room is a particularly strong feature, with a vaulted ceiling, large windows, an attractive fireplace and plenty of room for both seating and dining. It is a bright, comfortable space with a wonderful sense of character.

The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of white gloss units, wood-effect worktops, an oven, hob and integrated appliances. It is well presented and practical, with a clean, contemporary finish that works well alongside the apartment’s period character.

There are two bedrooms, including a large mezzanine bedroom positioned above the main living space. This room offers an excellent amount of floor space and could make a striking main bedroom, guest room or occasional work-from-home space. The second bedroom is also a good size, with a feature fireplace and room for wardrobes.

The bathroom is larger than expected, with a bath, WC and wash basin, finished in a light and fresh style. The landing areas provide useful additional space too, with the overall layout giving the property more of a maisonette feel than a conventional flat.

The property is being sold with a share of freehold. We are advised by the seller that the underlying lease is being extended as part of the sale, giving buyers the character and space of a period property alongside the reassurance of a substantially extended lease once completed. Buyers should rely on their solicitor to confirm the final lease and freehold arrangements.

Ethelbert Square is well placed for Westgate-on-Sea’s seafront, sandy beaches, shops, cafés and train station. Westgate-on-Sea blends classic Victorian charm with easy coastal living, with St Mildred’s Bay and West Bay offering family-friendly swimming, rock pools, beach huts and sunset walks. Clifftop paths connect towards Margate and Minnis Bay, while the high street offers a good selection of independent shops, cafés and the characterful Carlton Cinema. Westgate & Birchington Golf Club also sits along the coast.

The town is practical for day-to-day life too, with primary schools, secondary options including Ursuline College, parks, tennis facilities and supermarkets nearby. Westgate-on-Sea station provides services to London Victoria via Faversham, with straightforward HS1 connections at Margate, Ramsgate or Ashford for St Pancras. The A28 and A299 provide road links towards Canterbury, the M2 and wider East Kent. It is an appealing choice for buyers seeking a friendly seaside town with useful connections and easy access to Margate’s Old Town, restaurants and Turner Contemporary.
