Summary - 12 MILFORD COURT GILLINGHAM SP8 4SX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bed with parking and share of freehold in a quiet, sought location.
Far-reaching countryside views from first-floor windows
A compact two-bedroom retirement flat on the first floor with far-reaching countryside views, offered chain free and ready for a new owner. The apartment sits in a sought-after area of Gillingham with resident parking and pleasant nearby walks — attractive for older buyers looking to downsize.
Internally the layout is traditional: a generous lounge with multiple windows, a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower-room. Accommodation totals about 392 sq ft so rooms are modest; the building is double-glazed and comes with electric storage heating. The flat is sold as part of a share of the freehold and currently used by over-40s only.
Important practical points: the lease has around 60 years remaining and the ground rent is currently very high at £2,400 pa. Some mortgage lenders may refuse or require a large deposit because of the lease length. The sale is a probate transaction, which may affect timing and requires confirmation of grant of probate before completion.
This property suits a buyer who prioritises location and views over internal space and who understands the leasehold mechanics and likely additional costs. It has scope for modest cosmetic updating but buyers should factor in the lease situation and the high ongoing ground rent when calculating affordability.
