Summary - 31 KENT STREET WHITSTABLE CT5 4HS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, low-cost first-floor apartment near station and town centre.
Chain-free with 949-year lease
This bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment on Kent Street offers an accessible, low-cost entry to Whitstable living. The property is chain-free with an exceptionally long lease (949 years), a low ground rent of £100 and no service charge, keeping ongoing costs simple and predictable for first-time buyers.
Internally the layout is traditional and well maintained. You'll find two double bedrooms, a large lounge that benefits from generous natural light through a mid-century style window, and a kitchen/breakfast room arranged for everyday use. Heating is provided by a mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed after 2002, helping with comfort and noise reduction.
Practical benefits include private off-street parking to the rear and a location about 0.7 miles from Whitstable train station and close to the town centre, beaches and local amenities. Nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings, and local broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should note some material details: the building dates from the late 1960s–early 1970s and external walls are cavity construction without added insulation, which may affect running costs and could be upgraded if desired. The flat is not adapted for accessibility, and accommodation is average-sized (approximately 637 sq ft) with a single bathroom. Overall, the home represents a straightforward, low-cost purchase with scope for cosmetic updating to add personal value.
