The Royal Sea Bathing Hospital, Margate

The Laundry is a detached former institutional building within the Grade II listed Royal Sea Bathing Hospital complex in Margate. Dating from the late nineteenth century, it is built principally of stock brick with stone detailing and is currently unoccupied and in poor repair, with substantial sections of the roof structure lost. Planning consent is stated for conversion to a three-bedroom dwelling, including changes to the windows and landscaping. The consent and any conditions should be checked as part of due diligence, particularly given the building's listed status. The property is offered on a long leasehold basis, with exclusive use of parking spaces shown on the registered title plan. The lease is stated to run for 999 years from December 2006 and includes provisions affecting dealings with the property. Ground rent, estate charges, VAT and any CIL or S106 liability are not confirmed in the particulars, so purchasers should make their own enquiries. Services and their adequacy should also be verified. The site is close to Margate seafront, the Old Town, Turner Contemporary, Dreamland and local shops, cafés and restaurants. Margate railway station provides services to London, including direct High Speed trains to St Pancras International. The leasehold interest is being marketed by private treaty, with written offers invited.
