A well-presented two-bedroom second-floor apartment in Singleton, Ashford, offering low-maintenance living with long-term security. The home has a bright L-shaped living room with bay window, a modern kitchen and bathroom, double glazing and use of residents’ off-road parking. The long lease (approx. 954 years) and peppercorn ground rent reduce long-term ownership concerns.
This compact property is suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a straightforward purchase with no forward chain. Practical positives include fast broadband, affordable council tax (Band C), and a below-average service charge (£100pcm). Local amenities, schools and frequent buses are within easy reach, and Ashford International Station offers fast links to London.
Be clear about the limitations: the apartment is modest in size (approx. 601 sqft) and uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average; buyers should check local safety data and security measures. EPC rating D (64) indicates mid-range energy performance and could be improved with targeted works.
Overall this is a practical, move-in ready flat with sensible running costs, strong connectivity and very low lease risk — a practical pick for buyers wanting convenience over a large footprint. Investors should note the residence’s location, service charge and rental potential in Ashford’s commuter market.
