2 bedroom apartment for sale

NO CHAIN - This large top floor flat forms part of a former boys boarding school which was built in the 1880s. The school closed in 1926 and was converted into substantial mansion flats in 1928, known today as Kent Coast Mansions.
The particular property is most deceptive, covering 1565 sq ft (145.4 sq m) with its own parking space.
There are two huge double bedrooms, a dual-aspect lounge a kitchen/diner and a family bathroom. A lovely feature of this property is the private entrance lobby and large entrance hall.
There is also planning permission to convert the loft which would create a four or even five bedroom family home which would rival the size of most detached houses.
All in all, a fantastic opportunity for a first time buyer or perhaps those looking for a weekend home near the sea.
