Summary - SHRUBLANDS COURT 1 MILL CRESCENT TONBRIDGE TN9 1PH
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Lifetime Lease option reduces upfront cost for eligible buyers and secures future value.
Short walk to Tonbridge High Street and station
This ground-floor retirement apartment sits a short walk from Tonbridge High Street and the station, offering convenient town living with communal gardens and off-street parking. The Home for Life Lifetime Lease option (for those aged 60+) provides a shared-ownership route with a guide price of £195,000 versus full market value £295,000 — potential savings typically 20–50% depending on age and circumstances. The property is available chain free and has a garage en bloc.
Inside, the flat has a bright lounge/dining area with large windows and a modern kitchen with built-in appliances and granite-style worktops. Two double bedrooms and a practical bathroom suit downsizers or buyers seeking an accessible single-level home. Double glazing (installed before 2002) and mains gas central heating are in place.
Practical matters to note: the property is leasehold with about 107 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,960 and a modest ground rent of £30. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s so some communal areas or fittings may show their age; the flat’s overall size is small at around 581 sq ft and may suit buyers seeking a compact, low-maintenance home rather than large living spaces.
For over-60s considering financial security, the Lifetime Lease allows purchase of up to a 50% safeguarded share of value; the exact price depends on personal circumstances so an individual quote or calculator use is recommended. Broadband and mobile signal are average locally; Tonbridge’s schools, shops and amenities are all within easy reach, making this a practical, centrally located retirement option.
