This first-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment offers straightforward access to Gillingham town centre, mainline station and local amenities — appealing for first-time buyers seeking a manageable starter home or residential investors. The layout includes a spacious sitting room, fitted kitchen/diner, family bathroom and ensuite shower room, all served by gas central heating and double glazing. The property is offered chain free and includes allocated off-street parking and access to a shared communal garden.
The flat will suit a buyer prepared to carry out modernisation: fixtures and décor require updating to realise the home’s full potential. Energy efficiency is sensible at EPC Band C and broadband/mobile connectivity and local services are strong, supporting everyday living and home working. Service charges are approximately £390 per quarter (£1,560 pa).
Important legal and safety points: the property is leasehold and the listing contains conflicting lease information. There is a clear warning that a low lease term (reported elsewhere as 66 years) may lead many mortgage lenders to decline finance; buyers must verify the exact lease length and lending implications before committing. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, which should be considered alongside the convenience benefits.
This is a realistic purchase for someone who wants a central, chain-free apartment to personalise and improve. An early viewing is recommended for cash buyers or purchasers who have confirmed mortgage eligibility against the lease, and for anyone wanting to assess renovation scope and neighbourhood suitability in person.
