Summary - Burlington Lodge Burlington Lodge Birchwood Park Avenue, Swanley BR8 7AU
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Stylish low-maintenance two-bed apartment close to station and town centre.
Chain-free retirement apartment for ages 60+
This two-bedroom, two-bath retirement apartment sits within Burlington Lodge, a purpose-built new development for over-60s in central Swanley. At about 713 sq ft the home offers a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, built-in bedroom wardrobes and an en-suite to the master — all set within attractive communal grounds and balconies.
The development provides strong on-site support and security: 24-hour alarm and response systems, video entry, intruder and smoke alarms, a lodge manager (Mon–Fri) and a communal lounge with coffee bar and guest suite. Transport and town-centre amenities are within easy walking distance and Swanley station offers direct routes into central London.
Practical considerations are clear and should be weighed up: this is a leasehold retirement property with a long lease (approximately 995–999 years remaining) and an annual service charge of about £3,757.74. Heating is by electric room heaters which can mean higher running costs than central systems, and the wider area records higher-than-average crime and deprivation indices.
For a buyer downsizing from a larger home, the apartment delivers low-maintenance living, social facilities and modern finishes in a central location. Investors should note restrictions linked to age exclusivity and leasehold tenure. Viewing is recommended to assess the layout and the communal facilities in person.
