A light-filled first-floor maisonette arranged over one level with its own private entrance, garden and a garage en bloc. The living space is generous for the footprint and the kitchen has modern fitted units and integrated storage, making it a practical home for first-time buyers or downsizers. Two bedrooms suit a small family or sharers, and double glazing plus gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
Practical positives include a long lease (108 years remaining), mains gas boiler with radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and straightforward access to St Mary Cray mainline station and frequent bus routes. The nearby amenities and a mix of primary and secondary schools add convenience for families or those seeking rental demand.
Notable points to consider: the property is leasehold with a small ground rent (£100) and sits in an area with above-average crime rates. Rooms are generally compact and ceilings and one bedroom show cleaning needs with some visible damp/mould potential; an internal inspection and minor remedial works are advised. The garage is en bloc (not adjacent), which may limit immediate access. Overall this is a good-value, well-located maisonette with scope for light improvement.
