Summary - 139A OLD ROAD WEST GRAVESEND DA11 0LS
1 bed 1 bath Ground Maisonette
One-bedroom retirement choice near Gravesend station with refurbishment potential.
Chain-free ground-floor maisonette with small private garden
A ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette with a small garden, offered chain-free and sized at about 571 sq ft. The Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price for over-60s is shown at £112,500 (guide, based on typical savings); full market value is £170,000. The plan lets eligible buyers purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard funds — actual price depends on age and circumstances.
The flat sits in a mid‑20th century block with double glazing installed before 2002, cavity walls (assumed uninsulated) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Interiors are neutral and light-filled; the lounge has patio doors and modern laminate flooring. There is clear potential to update kitchen and bathroom to modern tastes.
Practical ownership notes: leasehold with about 93 years remaining, service charge around £700 pa (below average), ground rent about £10, and very low council tax. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent — useful for staying connected or renting out. The area is urban and shows higher crime and deprivation levels, which buyers should weigh alongside the convenience of local shops and a short walk to Gravesend station.
This property suits a downsizing retiree seeking affordability with long‑term security options, or an investor after a manageable leasehold flat near transport links. Verify all lease, service charge and condition details, and plan for some refurbishment to maximise comfort or rental value.
