This two-bedroom first-floor flat on Wordsworth Way is a practical, low-entry option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Sold chain free, the apartment offers a straightforward purchase and a clear scope for improvement; the EPC C rating and gas central heating mean you won’t need major energy upgrades straight away.
Set in a mid‑century three-storey block with communal lawns and balconies, the home is well placed for local shops, pubs and eateries and is a short walk to Dartford train station—good for commuters. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, helping tenants or home workers stay connected.
The interior needs modernisation throughout: expect cosmetic upgrading, updating of fixtures and decorative refurbishment to realise full value. The building has no lift and the flat is mid‑terrace style; there is a filled cavity wall and double glazing installed before 2002. Service charge and lease details are important considerations—there are approximately 90 years remaining on the lease, an average service charge around £1,270 pa and a nominal ground rent.
Be realistic about the local context: the area is classified as very deprived with high crime levels and hampered neighbourhood indicators. That affects family buyers and some investors, though proximity to good local schools and transport links may balance concerns for many. This property suits a buyer comfortable with renovation who wants an affordable entry into the Dartford market or an investor seeking a lettable property with improvement potential.
