The open-plan lounge with balcony, allocated off-street parking and secure entry provide convenience and a pleasant everyday experience.

Practical running costs should be noted: the property is leasehold with 236 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,100.44 and ground rent of £329.46. Council Tax Band C and an EPC B rating are positive for running costs, but the service charge is a material ongoing cost for buyers to factor into affordability calculations.
Location is a strong selling point for commuters and shoppers: Stone Crossing, Greenhithe and Dartford stations are all easily reachable, with fast road links to the A2, M25 and Dartford Crossing. Bluewater is around a 10-minute drive. Local green spaces and several well-rated schools lie within a short distance.
Buyers should also be aware of local context: the wider area shows higher crime levels and general deprivation indicators. These factors can affect rental demand and long-term resale values; purchasers seeking investment returns or future resale should weigh local market conditions alongside the apartment’s strengths.
