Light-filled one-bedroom apartment set on Chatham Quays, with framed water and castle views from both living space and bedroom. The open-plan layout and large windows maximise the apartment’s 493 sq ft, creating a comfortable home for a single occupant or couple.
This purpose-built development (built 2007–2011) offers allocated off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and is well placed for trains to London and nearby shops, cinemas and restaurants. The flat is presented to a high specification with modern kitchen fittings and double glazing.
Practical details to note: the flat is leasehold with an unusually long lease (982 years), an annual service charge of £1,972.24 and a small quarterly ground rent (£62.50). Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas; EPC rating C. The wider area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood and local crime levels are reported as high, which may affect some buyers’ sense of security.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or commuter seeking modern riverside living and strong transport links. It will also suit an investor looking for a manageable, well-located one-bed in a sought-after quayside development, provided they accept the local area profile and electric heating arrangement.
