This modern ground-floor apartment offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home close to local shops, Chatham town centre and Medway Maritime Hospital. A light lounge looks out to far-reaching views, while the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes — practical for a first-time purchase or buy-to-let. The long lease (about 140 years) and resident communal parking are strong tenure and convenience advantages.
The apartment is small (approximately 347 sq ft) and finished in good order, with contemporary kitchen fittings and double glazing installed post-2002. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property is powered by electricity rather than gas, which may raise running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Council tax is inexpensive and there is no flood risk for the location.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which can affect resale values and rental demand. The building was constructed between 2007–2011 and appears structurally modern, but prospective purchasers should inspect services and wiring and obtain a full survey where required. Overall this apartment suits a budget-conscious first buyer or investor seeking a manageable, well-located one-bedroom with long lease security.
