This well-located ground-floor 2-bedroom flat on Heath Lane offers straightforward access to local schools, shops and transport links—making it an attractive choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property benefits from a long 999-year lease with a share of the freehold, low council tax band and an EPC C (72), which together reduce ownership costs and uncertainty.
The flat is a practical, average-sized home (approx. 753 sq ft) with off-street parking and access to communal gardens. Built in the early 1990s and double glazed, it runs on a mains gas boiler and radiators. Interiors are generally well maintained but show some dated elements (notably ceilings) and will reward cosmetic updating rather than structural overhaul.
Location is a key strength: popular primary and grammar schools are close by, Dartford station and major routes (A2/M25) are within easy reach, and local amenities such as shops, cafes and leisure facilities lie nearby. Crime levels are average and mobile/broadband connectivity is strong, supporting remote working or renting to professionals.
Be mindful that the surrounding area is classified as deprived with localised neighbourhood challenges; this is reflected in the wider socio-economic profile. Communal maintenance obligations will apply as part of the shared ownership of the freehold. Overall, the flat presents a cost-effective entry into the market or a sensible rental proposition for those prepared to carry out light cosmetic improvements.
