A top-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The flat sits within a purpose-built complex with secure entry, lift access to the upper floor and communal amenities including a garden, shared laundry/drying room and a guest apartment—features that suit downsizers seeking low-maintenance living and social convenience.
Inside, the open-plan lounge/diner and fitted kitchen provide practical living space for a single occupant or couple. The property benefits from double glazing, a fitted bedroom wardrobe and an ensuite-style shower room. The apartment’s compact 463 sqft footprint is efficient and straightforward to maintain.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (approx. 103 years remaining) with an annual service charge of about £2,499 and ground rent c. £380. Heating is by electric storage radiators rather than gas, which can affect running costs. The building is modern (late 1990s–early 2000s) and generally well kept, but buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and review the service charge account and building maintenance history.
Location strengths include a short walk into Sittingbourne town centre and approximately 0.25 miles to the mainline station with High Speed links to London. Broadband and mobile signals are strong. Be aware the wider area records high crime and higher deprivation indices; viewings should consider local amenities and personal safety preferences.
