Quiet, well-maintained and purpose-built for over-60s living, this first-floor two-bedroom flat sits in a gated mews development just off Old Bexley Village. You get a generous lounge, a modern fitted kitchen, an adapted shower room and a private balcony overlooking communal gardens — practical, low-effort spaces for relaxed retirement living. Communal facilities include an on-site manager, resident’s lounge and convenient off-street parking.
Practical running costs and access are straightforward but should be noted: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is fully electric, which can increase energy bills compared with gas-heated homes. The lease has 62 years remaining; some mortgage lenders may refuse lending or apply stricter terms because of the shorter lease length. The flat is sold chain free, which helps with a quicker move.
Location is a strong point: shops, cafés, restaurants and Bexley Station are within easy reach, and pleasant communal gardens provide a calm outlook beside the River Cray. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. On the downside the local area records higher crime levels than average and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone, so consider insurance and security arrangements when viewing.
This apartment will suit downsizers or those seeking a low-maintenance, social retirement setting in a village-centre location. It offers ready-to-live-in accommodation with potential to personalise, but buyers who require long lease terms or gas heating should check financing and running-cost implications before committing.
