Set on a high floor in Kidbrooke Village, this modern one-bedroom apartment (551 sq ft) offers bright, open-plan living and a private balcony overlooking communal gardens. The building, completed in 2021, has lift access, 24/7 concierge and immediate access to local shops and Kidbrooke station for fast central-London commutes.
The apartment is well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance, contemporary home. The fitted kitchen, built-in bedroom storage and large utility cupboard add practical, everyday convenience. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent for remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with a very long lease (995 years) and ongoing costs: an average service charge of £3,300 and ground rent of £375. Heating is provided by a community scheme, which may mean less direct control over individual heating choices and costs. Street parking is limited and views are urban rather than open countryside.
Overall, the apartment delivers modern specification, strong transport links and village amenities close by, but factor in service charges, communal heating and the urban setting when assessing long-term running costs and lifestyle fit.
