Low‑maintenance one-bedroom in central Herne Bay, ideal for downsizing buyers.
Chain-free and sold at auction
A compact, neutrally decorated one-bedroom retirement flat in central Herne Bay, offered chain-free and due for sale at auction. The living room and fitted kitchen provide straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation for a single occupant or couple seeking to downsize near local shops and transport.
Practical features include double glazing, electric storage heating and residents’ off-street parking. The block was built in the early 1990s and the flat’s 419 sq ft layout is arranged for easy day-to-day use. The property is currently let or marketed as an investment opportunity and could suit a buyer wanting a manageable home or a small rental asset in a town location.
Important buyer notes: the lease has about 61 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend against this length. Annual service charges average around £2,806 and the property is sold as leasehold at auction, so purchasers should factor in fees, lease implications and the auction process.
Also note materially higher local risks: the area records very high crime levels and a high flooding risk. These factors will affect insurance, mortgage terms and long-term resale prospects. Viewings and pre-purchase checks are strongly recommended for buyers to assess suitability and costs before bidding.
