This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Rowhedge offers a ready-to-move-in home in a sought-after riverside village. Recently renovated, the property has a bright open-plan kitchen and lounge with a bay window that fills the main living space with natural light. The new fully tiled shower room and modern fittings reduce immediate maintenance needs and make the apartment ideal for a straightforward purchase.
Practical advantages include an allocated parking space and a private garage — useful for storage or a second vehicle — plus fast broadband and very low flood risk. A useful hallway cupboard helps with everyday storage in a compact 507 sq ft layout. The property is offered chain-free which supports a quicker, less complicated buying process.
As a leasehold apartment, there are ongoing costs to factor in: an average service charge of £1,400 per year and a ground rent of £200 per year. The lease has around 100 years remaining. The apartment’s overall footprint is modest, so it suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a low-maintenance riverside spot rather than buyers needing large living spaces or gardens.
Rowhedge’s waterfront cafés, pubs and village amenities are all within easy walking distance, making this a convenient and pleasant base. Local schools are well-rated and the area benefits from an affluent local profile, average crime levels, and good transport links for a small town fringe location.
