Chain-free 2-bed ground-floor apartment with large patio and allocated parking.
Extremely large 1,346 sq ft ground-floor apartment
A rare, chain-free ground-floor apartment offering an exceptionally generous 1,346 sq ft of living space in a gated boutique block of just five homes. The dual-aspect open-plan kitchen/dining/reception (approx. 538 sq ft) flows through wide bi-fold doors onto a large private patio, creating easy indoor–outdoor living. Two double bedrooms both have fitted wardrobes; the principal bedroom benefits from a fully tiled en suite. Allocated off-street parking sits directly by the gated entrance.
Specified to a high standard, the apartment features underfloor heating from a boiler, quartz worktops, integrated appliances including a wine cooler, charcoal-framed windows and useful utility and storage rooms. The small communal setting provides privacy and low-maintenance external areas, while good broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and streaming. Mainline links are convenient — about an eight-minute walk to Chislehurst and thirteen minutes to Bickley station.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is sold share of freehold with approximately 116 years remaining on the lease and an annual service charge of about £3,778. There is no ground rent, but council tax is described as expensive. A tree at the front carries a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), and water metering details are to be confirmed. Buyers should verify these details and the lease terms with their solicitor.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers or professionals seeking generous, low-maintenance, single-level living close to stations and highly regarded schools. It combines the convenience and security of a gated, small development with a large footprint rarely found at this price point, while requiring routine communal maintenance budgeting and due diligence on local protections such as the TPO.
