Summary - 120 William Gibbs Court, Orchard Place ME13 8RP
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large two-bedroom retirement flat with communal facilities close to town.
Grade II listed apartment with high ceilings and large bay window
An unusually spacious two-bedroom apartment in the Grade II listed William Gibbs complex, arranged for over-60s living and offered with no onward chain. The apartment occupies the front of the listed building and keeps attractive period features such as high ceilings and a large bay window that floods the principal living room with light. A full redecoration and upgrades in 2023 included a new kitchen, appliances, carpets and a replacement central heating system.
Residents benefit from a wide range of communal facilities: a residents’ manager, communal lounge and dining room, laundry, hair salon, guest suite and a small communal garden. Off-street parking is available at the rear on a first-come, first-served basis. The property is a short walk from Faversham town centre and mainline station, making shops, markets and rail connections conveniently close.
Important practical considerations: the apartment is leasehold with only 19 years remaining. That short lease and the Grade II listing can restrict mortgage availability and complicate major works. Service charge and ground rent are high (service charge £4,642pa; ground rent £4,590pa) and will materially affect affordability. Heating is electric storage, walls are solid brick with assumed lack of insulation, and glazing dates are not specified.
This is a strong option for an older buyer seeking ready-to-move-in accommodation with communal support and period character, but it suits those who understand the implications of a short lease, listed status and elevated ongoing costs. Mortgage advice and lease-extension options should be sought early.
