This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers practical retirement living with bright dual-aspect reception space and two private terraces for sun-chasing or quiet outdoor seating. The main bedroom includes an en-suite shower and the modern kitchen sits just off the lounge, making the layout easy to manage. The property is gas‑heated with double glazing and comes with communal off‑street parking.
For buyers aged 60+, the Home for Life Lifetime Lease is available; guide Lifetime Lease price here is £112,500 (market value £170,000). Lifetime Lease purchasers commonly save between 20–50% depending on age and chosen safeguarded share (up to 50%). Leasehold details: 104 years remaining, service charge about £1,864 pa and ground rent £250 pa — important ongoing costs to factor in.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the flat is small (approx. 397 sq ft) and the wider neighbourhood scores high on deprivation and crime indices, which may concern some buyers or investors. Transport links are strong for the area, with Ashford International providing fast rail to London; local shops and schools are nearby.
Overall this apartment suits retirees looking to downsize into a well‑presented, low‑maintenance home with outdoor terraces, or investors seeking a compact, rentable unit. Verify lease, service charge and suitability for the Lifetime Lease purchase with solicitors and Homewise before committing.
