Summary - The Boathouse, Ocean Drive, Gillingham, Kent, ME7 ME7 1FT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain‑free modern flat with parking and communal gym — strong rental appeal.
534 sq ft two-bedroom flat with balcony overlooking river/harbour
A compact two-bedroom apartment occupying 534 sq ft in a modern riverside development on Ocean Drive. The flat offers an open-plan living area, balcony with river/harbour outlook, off-street parking and communal facilities including a gym and Wi‑Fi lounge. The long lease (977 years) and chain-free sale make it straightforward for investors or first-time buyers.
This property suits buy-to-let investors or buyers seeking a convenient city-location near transport links, shops and local amenities. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong; the building is contemporary with double glazing and lift access. Nearby schools and retail make the location practical for a range of occupiers.
Notable negatives are factual: the site has a high flooding risk and the property relies on electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. Annual service charge and ground rent total are material—approximately £2,000 service charge and £250 ground rent—and the surrounding area is classified as deprived with a strong student presence, which affects tenant mix and long‑term demand patterns. Buyers should budget for running costs and check flood-insurance implications before committing.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, modern apartment with clear rental and first‑buy potential, but it carries specific running-cost and flood-related risks that should be considered alongside the strengths.
