Summary - 164 BISHOPS OAK RIDE TONBRIDGE TN10 3PE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-located commuter flat requiring modernisation and lease checks.
Approximately 437 sq ft one-bedroom first-floor flat
This compact first-floor flat offers a straightforward starter home or buy-to-let opportunity in Tonbridge. At about 437 sq ft the layout is practical: one double bedroom, a cosy reception room, and a single bathroom. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing, and access to a shared garden that gives a sense of outdoor space.
The location is a clear strength. Bishops Oak Ride sits in a residential area with good local shops, parks and fast rail links into central London (around 40 minutes), making it suitable for commuters. Several well-rated primary schools and Tonbridge School are nearby, adding appeal for long‑term resale or rental demand.
There are some material considerations to note. The flat is leasehold with about 91 years remaining and a small ground rent; prospective buyers should confirm lease terms and any service charges. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and has system-built walls with external insulation — this presents both solid fabric and potential maintenance or refurbishment needs. The internal decor and fittings are dated and will likely need updating to maximise value.
Local area data is mixed: the immediate neighbourhood is described as comfortable, but wider area indicators show higher deprivation and above-average crime rates. Buyers should weigh these factors against the low council tax and fast broadband/mobile signal. Overall this is a compact, well-located flat best suited to first-time buyers or investors prepared to refresh the property and confirm lease details.
