This freshly renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Aylesham is aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home. The interior is neutrally decorated, light and airy, with an open lounge/diner and Juliette balcony that bring in plenty of natural light. The property is move-in ready and benefits from an NHBC warranty valid until 2031, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — useful comfort and connectivity for everyday living.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, communal garden access and a very long lease (995 years). The layout is efficient: two bedrooms, one bathroom and a compact kitchen within a total of 568 sq ft — manageable for a couple or a single buyer looking to get on the ladder. Service charge is listed at an average £1,860 per year and council tax is described as cheap; buyers should factor the ongoing service charge into affordability calculations.
Location strengths include proximity to local primary and secondary schools (some rated Good or Outstanding) and local transport links. However, the surrounding area has higher-than-average crime statistics and is assessed as very deprived, which may concern some buyers or affect future resale values. Overall, this is a practical, modern apartment offering easy maintenance and long-term lease security for first-time purchasers prepared to accept local area challenges.
