New-build, low-maintenance flat ideal for over-60s seeking secure downsizing.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment with balcony and lake views
This immaculately presented two-bedroom second-floor apartment, built in 2022, is finished to a high standard and comes with a 10-year NHBC warranty. The living room opens onto a private balcony with clear views over Martello Lake — a calm spot to enjoy morning light or evening sunsets. The property includes allocated off-street parking and gas central heating with modern boiler and radiators.
The apartment is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £152,000 for eligible buyers aged 60+, compared with a full market price of £230,000. The Lifetime Lease lets purchasers buy up to a 50% share of the property value, with actual cost depending on age and circumstances. This can provide significant savings but is only available to those aged 60 or over.
Practical points: the flat is leasehold with 997 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,662 per year. The overall internal size is modest (approximately 591 sq ft), so it suits downsizers seeking low-maintenance living rather than those wanting large entertaining spaces. There are good local amenities, nearby walks along the Royal Military Canal, and convenient road and rail links to Ashford and London.
In short, this newly built, low-maintenance apartment offers lake views, a secure modern finish and convenient parking — appealing to over-60s looking to downsize and preserve capital via a Lifetime Lease. Buyers should check lease details, service charge commitments and seek a personalised Lifetime Lease quote to understand the exact purchase price and protections offered.
