Set in the heart of Ashford High Street, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers central living with excellent transport links.

The accommodation includes a separate fitted kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom within approximately 652 sq ft. Local amenities are immediate: shops, cafes and services are on your doorstep and Ashford Mainline train station is a short walk away, making commuting straightforward.
Running costs are transparent: an annual service charge around £1,768 and ground rent of £200. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated E, which may mean higher energy bills compared with gas-heated homes. There is no private garden; communal areas are at ground level.
This property suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a town-centre apartment with long lease security. Be aware the local area records above-average crime levels, and the building was constructed in the mid-20th century, so buyers should consider surveys for any age-related maintenance.
