A generously sized ground-floor one-bedroom flat in central Dartford, arranged as a bright open-plan living room with kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a small courtyard. The layout and 759 sq ft total area are rare for a one-bed, offering scope for comfortable single occupancy or rental return.
Location is the property’s strongest asset: it’s within walking distance of Dartford town centre and close to Dartford station, making commuting straightforward. Permit parking is available locally (nominal annual cost). Council Tax Band B helps running costs remain low.
There are some material points to note. The property is leasehold (approx. 116 years remaining) and sits in an area flagged as deprived with a very high recorded crime rate — factors that will influence mortgage, insurance and tenant demand. Heating currently relies on room heaters despite mains gas being available, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so modest investment may be required to improve comfort and energy performance.
For first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a well-sized, well-located flat with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, this offers good value at the guide price. Be mindful of the neighbourhood profile and potential upgrade costs when assessing long-term returns.
