Charles Court
At Charles Court, you can be assured of both – modern architecture at its best and a carefully thought out mix of accommodation of 24 two-bedroom apartments including four penthouses; 3 four-bedroom luxury town houses and a micro pub plus allocated parking.
Residents of Charles Court can look forward to a carefully landscaped site with evergreen shrubs and ground cover along its boundaries and a new feature tree within the private, grassed courtyard area. Enclosed to three sides, the privacy of the courtyard will make it a popular place to relax or while away the day with friends.
There’s also a rooftop terrace for penthouse apartment owners and a centrally located lift for use by all residents. Following the tradition of the site, where originally Ye Olde Charles public house made way for the Holly Tree, at ground floor level there is also to be a ‘Micro Pub’, which will add a totally new and different dimension to the development - a handy place for a cheeky drink and
a bite to eat after a day on the beach - or in the office
The penthouse apartments, slightly larger in size, provide fabulous views to the beach just over half a mile away. They also feature full height, aluminium double-glazed sliding doors to create wonderful light-filled living spaces.
In fact, the overall luxury finish of our apartments is simply hard to resist with a high standard of specification throughout.
Over 60% of our two-bedroom apartments have balconies with direct access from either the living room or bedroom and some at ground floor level, open onto the sunny courtyard area.
Fronting onto Northdown Road, our three stylish town houses with forecourts and enclosed rear gardens are ideal for families
Sharply styled over three floors to offer elegant and well-planned interiors, their aluminium window frames and attractive feature brickwork at front and back add real kerb appeal.
Step inside your Charles Court town house and you’ll find a larger than average dining kitchen immediately left with enough space to seat a family of six.
With the kitchen increasingly the hub of any house, we have planned the layout with units along two walls to provide as much circulation space as possible. The comprehensive range of elegant, top-end kitchen units features handle-less soft close doors and drawers, a stainless-steel sink with monobloc mixer tap, plus LED under cabinet downlights and USB sockets.
Worktops are in granite or quartz with granite upstands and the range of high-quality integrated appliances includes a built-in single fan oven, induction hob and hood, integrated fridge freezer,
dishwasher and washer/dryer complete the line-up.
Designed to benefit from maximum daylight, the south facing living room overlooking the rear garden, is another space that is perfect for growing families with the benefit of floor to ceiling aluminium
double-glazed sliding doors to extend your living area outside when the warmer weather arrives! There is also a very handy downstairs WC/washbasin off the hall.
On floor one is the main bedroom with (space for) fitted cupboards and a large ensuite with a shower, washbasin and WC. Bedroom two, has further storage space and the family bathroom comes with a heated towel rail/radiator, washbasin, WC and bath with shower.
Presented with feature tiling around the bath, shower enclosures and splashbacks, this theme is continued with contrasting tiling to the floor.
All homes are gas centrally heated by standard combination boilers. Quite apart from the many benefits of buying your next home here, car owners are not forgotten with
a block-paved forecourt large enough for two cars.
Externally, forecourt areas will benefit from evergreen planting to provide a buffer for parking while to the rear, an area will be paved for seating and BBQs with the remainder of the garden turfed.

Site Plan
Called by some, the Kent Riviera - Margate is a vibrant seaside town
Home to an eclectic mix of long-term locals, artists, retirees and Londoners, looking for some peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, Margate’s growing popularity
means the list of things to do is getting longer each year
In fact, no matter your stage in life, there is something for everyone in this corner of Kent.
Beach lovers are in exactly the right place - Margate’s clean, sandy beach has earned it a blue flag rating
Children and families are drawn to the perennially popular Dreamland amusement park, with its mix of rides and scenic railway.
There’s a highly rated festival programme too - Afro Latino, food, crafts and much more, plus a Grand Prix on the beach each year.
Arguably the coolest part of Margate, with its charming cobbled streets, the Old town has much to offer
With an exciting range of retro and antique shops, micro pubs, galleries, restaurants and coffee shops - the Old Town is the ideal place to explore - and enjoy some liquid refreshment!
In recent years, the Turner Contemporary Gallery, so named because of the artist’s long association with the town in the 19th century and built in the exact same spot where he lived, houses some of Kent’s – and the country’s - most unique modern artists.
For every day shopping Westwood Cross Shopping Centre with its bars, restaurants and ample range of well known retail brands and local, independent shops is hard to beat, just ten minutes’ drive from Charles Court, in Broadstairs.
Help to Buy is available on select properties within this development. Please ask for details.
Help To Buy
Help to Buy is a government scheme which can help you to buy a property with just a 5% deposit with a Help to Buy: Equity Loan, subject to eligibility, terms and conditions
The Government has announced a new Help to Buy scheme to run from April 2021. It is restricted to first-time buyers and will include regional price caps to ensure the scheme reaches people who need it most. There are no changes to the current Help to Buy equity loan scheme which runs to March 2021.
The new scheme will run from April 2021 to March 2023. As with the current scheme, under the new plans, the Government will lend buyers up to 20% of the cost of a newly built home, and up to 40% in London.

How does Help to Buy work?
Coronavirus
The coronavirus outbreak has affected the completion dates for Help to Buy homes. You can find out more on Gov.uk.
The Help to Buy scheme offers an equity loan where the government lends first-time buyers and existing homeowners money to buy a newly-built home.
The purchase price must be no more than £600,000. Under this scheme, you can borrow 20% of the purchase price interest-free for the first five years as long as you have at least a 5% deposit. If you live in London, you can borrow up to 40% of the purchase price.
Use our Mortgage Calculator, to work out how much you’d pay back each month.
The Government has confirmed it will extend its Help to Buy equity loan scheme from 2021 to 2023. However, this extension will be restricted to first-time buyers purchasing newly built homes.
From 2021, there will also be new regional price caps which could reduce the maximum value of homes that can be bought through the Equity Loan Scheme.
Who can’t apply for the scheme?
- You can’t use the above schemes to buy a second home or a property to rent out.
- If you use Help to Buy, you can only take out a repayment mortgage.
- You can’t buy a property for more than the set price limits (see below).
The Help to Buy scheme is available in England only.
Help to Buy: Equity loans
How they work
You need at least 5% of the sale price of your new-build flat or house as a deposit
The government lends you up to 20%, or 40% if you live in London, of the sale price.
You borrow the rest (up to 75%, or 55% if you live in London) from a mortgage lender, on a repayment basis.
The equity loan must be repaid after 25 years, or earlier if you sell your home.
You must repay the same percentage of the proceeds of the sale as the initial equity loan (i.e. if you received an equity loan for 20% of the purchase price of your home, you must repay 20% of the proceeds of the future sale).
Example
Cost of home - £200,000
Cost name Percentage of total £ value
Your deposit 5% £10,000
Equity loan 20% £40,000
Mortgage 75% £150,000
TOTAL £200,000
The interest rate you will be charged
You don’t pay any interest or fees on the government’s equity loan for the first five years. In the sixth year, you’ll be charged 1.75%.
After then, the fee rises by inflation based on the Retail Prices Index (RPI) plus 1% each year.
RPI figures are put together by the Office for National Statistics.
See below for an example of how the fees work.
Interest rates for paying back your loan
Years 1-5: no fees
Year 6: 1.75% of the loan
Year 7 onwards: 1.75% + RPI + 1%
These fees do not go towards paying off the government loan.
When you sell your home, or the mortgage is paid off, you have to repay the equity loan plus a share of any increase in the value. It works like this:
Example
Home bought for £200,000, sold for £250,000
Increase in value 25%
Equity loan repayment £50,000 (£40,000 + 25% profit)
Mortgage £150,000 (less capital repayments)
Your share at least £50,000
The remaining £50,000 (or more) can be used as a deposit on your next home.
The exact amount depends on how much you’ve paid off your mortgage.
You can also pay back part or all of your loan at any time.
The minimum percentage you can pay back is 10% of the market value of your home.
The amount you pay will depend on the market value at the time.
