Bright, well-proportioned and purpose-built for over‑55s, this second‑floor apartment offers comfortable retirement living in the heart of Gillingham. The sitting room and bedroom both benefit from riverside outlooks, while a separate dining room and practical kitchen give flexible living space across approximately 661 sq ft. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, an on‑site development manager and a 24‑hour careline for added peace of mind.
The position is a clear draw: town‑centre convenience with shops, the doctor’s surgery and the mainline station within easy walking distance, yet the rear communal gardens and riverside provide a quieter outdoor retreat. Offered chain free, this property is ready for immediate occupation by someone seeking independent retirement living with social options on site.
Buyers should note factual drawbacks before viewing. The apartment uses individually controlled electric storage heaters (no central heating system) and the EPC is a C. Service charges are relatively high at £4,116pa and ground rent is £350pa. Crime levels recorded for the area are very high; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves about local safety and personal comfort. Lease details in the paperwork show long leasehold tenure but figures quoted vary (88–102 years reported) — verify the exact remaining term before commitment.
