Summary - 5 PRINCE CHARLES AVENUE SOUTH DARENTH DARTFORD DA4 9LX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
No chain, pleasant outlook and low-maintenance living for downsizers.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with village views
Quiet, ground-floor retirement living with immediate availability and attractive village views. The one-bedroom flat sits within Southdowns Retirement Village and offers straightforward, single-level accommodation ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living. The layout is traditional with a medium-sized living room and a modern kitchen; double glazing and gas central heating are fitted throughout.
Practical positives include a modest service charge profile (ground rent £172), very low council tax and excellent mobile signal. The property is offered with no onward chain and has approximately 514 sq ft of accommodation. Communal grounds and the village setting contribute to a peaceful aspect and pleasant outlook from the living room.
Important considerations: the lease has about 70 years remaining — some lenders may be reluctant to offer mortgages on shorter leases. Broadband speeds are very slow here, and local crime is reported above average; purchasers should check connectivity and personal security arrangements. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so there may be thermal improvement or retrofit costs.
This flat suits a buyer wanting an accessible, ready-to-move-into retirement base with scope to personalise internally. Probate, move-in timing and any funding plans should take the remaining lease length and lender criteria into account.
