A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offered chain-free in central Chatham, well suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The flat is spacious (about 1,238 sq ft) with an open-plan living area, modern fitted kitchen, master en-suite and a separate family bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and proximity to Chatham station add practical commuter appeal.
The property is leasehold with approximately 110 years remaining. Annual charges are noticeable: service charge c. £2,538 per year (about £211.50 pcm) and ground rent £200 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and glazing is double, though install dates are unknown — these factors may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Location is a strong convenience point: shops, supermarkets, cafés and regular bus and rail links are all close by. However, the immediate area is classified as a deprived, multicultural student neighbourhood with a very high local crime rate; buyers should weigh local social factors and insurance costs alongside the property’s positives.
Overall this is a ready-to-move-in, low-maintenance flat that suits someone seeking central access and allocated parking without a chain. It offers rental potential and easy commuting, but buyers should budget for service charges, electric heating costs and consider the neighbourhood profile before proceeding.
