A spacious-feeling two-bedroom ground floor apartment offered at 75% shared ownership, aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking an affordable step onto the property ladder. Built in 2021, the flat benefits from modern construction, gas central heating and a bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that extends to useful internal space for everyday living.
Practical extras include an allocated off-street parking space, a small private garden and excellent transport links with local buses and nearby rail services to Canterbury and London. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for home working or streaming. The long lease (998 years) provides tenure security.
Be clear on the running costs: there is an average service charge of £1,125 and a ground rent of £720 which is high relative to the price; both will affect monthly outgoings. The overall internal area is modest at about 499 sq ft, so buyers should expect compact rooms despite the open-plan layout. The wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may influence resale or rental demand.
This flat is a practical, modern choice for a first-time buyer who prioritises transport links, low initial price and long lease length, but who is comfortable managing ongoing charges and a smaller internal footprint.
