A compact one-bedroom apartment offered chain-free in a well-managed, gated development just 0.6 miles from St. Mary Cray station — an easy commute into central London. The block, built in the mid-2000s, benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a secure entry phone system, making the flat move-in ready for a first-time buyer or commuter.
The living space is open-plan to the kitchen, with a good-sized double bedroom and a bath/shower bathroom. The property includes an allocated parking bay within the gated site, a useful and increasingly scarce local benefit. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming.
Practical costs and considerations are important: the lease has 107 years remaining, annual service charge averages £2,093 and ground rent is £250. The wider area shows signs of deprivation and recorded crime levels are very high; buyers should factor local safety and community factors into their decision. The flat’s 473 sq ft footprint suits singles or couples seeking affordable access to Orpington/zone-edge commuting.
This is a straightforward, low-maintenance home with commuting convenience and parking. It will particularly suit a first-time buyer prioritising transport links and manageable living costs, or an investor seeking a rental let close to rail connections, subject to local market and safety considerations.
