This ground-floor, one-bedroom maisonette offers compact, low-maintenance living with its own private rear garden — a rare find for a property of this size. The layout is straightforward and well presented, making it a sensible choice for someone downsizing or an investor seeking a commuter-let close to Chatham station.
The location works well for daily travel: the town centre and railway station are within walking distance, and broadband and mobile signal are strong. The building retains period character from its early 20th-century construction and has double glazing already installed.
Important practical notes: the flat is leasehold with about 65 years remaining, which may affect mortgage availability — some lenders can refuse on shorter leases. Service charge and ground rent are modest but ongoing costs; walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick as built), so consider insulation or heating efficiency improvements when budgeting.
Overall, this property suits a downsizer seeking a manageable home with minimal outdoor upkeep, or an investor after a well-located rental. Buyers should verify lease and lender acceptability and allow for possible modernization works to maximise potential.
