This bright one-bedroom home offers the convenience of a street-level entrance and allocated off-street parking — rare for a flat. The modified open-plan living and kitchen area is arranged for socialising and dining, while the large double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and pleasant greenery views. Chain-free sale and a long 114-year lease simplify purchase for first-time buyers or investors.
The building dates from the 1980s and the property is well presented throughout with double glazing and electric storage heaters. Service arrangements are communal: expect an average annual service charge of £1,500 and a small ground rent of £100. The apartment is a modest 470 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking manageable space rather than large-family accommodation.
Practical considerations are straightforward: electric storage heating (no gas), double glazing installed before 2002 and average local crime levels. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and nearby schools include two secondary schools rated among the top 10% locally.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance home in a sought-after Rochester neighbourhood. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting ease of access and parking, or an investor looking for a straightforward, long-lease rental opportunity. Any buyer should note the ongoing service charge, ground rent and electric heating when assessing running costs.
