This bright top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers practical living space with a long lease and a private garage — a clear entry point for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. At around 60 sqm (652 sq ft) the layout suits single occupants, couples or small families needing easy access to transport and local schools. The flat benefits from double glazing, contemporary communal grounds and straightforward electric heating.
Location is a major strength: the property is about one mile from Dartford station and close to A2/M25 motorway links, making commuting simple. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within the catchment area, and nearby green spaces give pleasant outward views. The extended lease (159 years) with a peppercorn ground rent removes a common leasehold worry and supports mortgageability.
Be upfront about the material drawbacks. The area records very high crime and is classed as deprived, which may affect some buyers’ sense of security and long-term demand. Service charges are substantial at about £2,234 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the water heater is stored in the hallway cupboard — both points to consider for running costs and layout impact. There’s limited private outdoor space and the garage is en-bloc rather than adjacent to the apartment.
Overall this is a cost-accessible, well-presented modern apartment with strong transport links, a long lease and parking — best suited to first-time buyers seeking convenience or investors targeting rental demand. Buyers should weigh the local crime data and running costs against the long lease, location and nearby schools.
