This one-bedroom, first-floor retirement apartment in Riverbourne Court offers practical, low-maintenance living in central Sittingbourne. The flat is chain-free, set within a purpose-built development with an on-site warden, communal lounge, attractive gardens, guest suite, laundry and emergency call system — features that support independent living and peace of mind.
Accommodation is approximately 506 sq ft and arranged with a generous lounge separated from the kitchen by glazed double doors, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a shower room with walk-in shower. Double glazing was installed after 2002; the property has electric storage heating and runs on mains electricity, which suits buyers seeking simple, self-contained services.
Buyers should note the cost of living in the development: an average service charge of £2,499 and a ground rent of £380 per year. The apartment is leasehold with around 102 years remaining. The immediate area is centrally located with shops, a supermarket, bus stops, hospital and station within walking distance — convenience that benefits those looking to downsize but remain in easy reach of local amenities.
The building sits in a busy town centre environment with high local crime statistics and wider area deprivation — factors to weigh against the communal security and on-site support. The apartment is suited to buyers aged over 55 seeking a manageable home with communal facilities rather than those wanting rural calm or lower ongoing charges.
