The flat is leasehold with 102 years remaining and a small ground rent of £50 per year. It will be sold at auction using the Modern Method of Auction; bidders should note the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and the 56-day completion requirement. These auction terms suit buyers ready to move quickly or investors seeking a defined timetable.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds in the area are slow and local crime is above average, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. The property’s modest size and the rural hamlet setting make it best suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or investors looking for a compact, characterful home with parking and communal gardens.
Overall, the flat combines period charm and a convenient village location between Sittingbourne and Faversham, but buyers should budget for the auction fees and confirm suitability for their needs, including connectivity and local safety concerns.
