Summary - 21 PILOTS PLACE GRAVESEND DA12 2DG
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact low-maintenance over-60s flat with communal facilities and gated parking.
Top-floor corner flat with lift access and double-aspect lounge
A compact two-bedroom top-floor retirement flat arranged on the corner of the second floor with lift access and double-aspect lounge. The layout is practical for downsizers: lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with oven and hob, bathroom and two bedrooms; one bedroom currently used as a dining room. Windows are double glazed and heating is by electric storage radiators. The property comes with an allocated space in a gated car park and access to communal lounge, guest room and maintained courtyard gardens. The flat is sold with immediate vacant possession and no onward chain.
Buyers should note the communal service charge is substantial at £4,090.20 per year and ground rent is £150 per year; the lease has approximately 151 years remaining. The property is modest in size (around 475 sq ft) so it will suit purchasers seeking low-maintenance accommodation rather than large living spaces. Heating is electric only, which can be more expensive than gas, and some internal areas (hallway) have dated finishes and will benefit from modernisation.
Location offers convenience to Gravesend town centre, local shops and the mainline station with fast services to London and Ebbsfleet. However, the immediate area scores high on recorded crime and is described as very deprived, which may concern some buyers. Overall this flat is a straightforward, easy-to-manage home for someone over 60 who values communal facilities, parking and a long lease, and is prepared to accept the high service charge and compact proportions.
