A bright, purpose-built one-bedroom apartment completed in 2024 and offered chain free — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance starter home. The open-plan living space benefits from high ceilings, good natural light from skylights/roof windows and an integrated kitchen with appliances included, so move-in disruption is minimal. Resident parking and an external storage cupboard add practical convenience not always found with flats of this size.
Financial running costs are competitive: a new 999-year lease will be granted on completion, there is no ground rent, and the annual service charge is low at around £300. Council Tax band C is £2,144.69 for 2025/26. The apartment achieves an EPC C rating and sits in an affluent area with easy access to Ashford Town and the mainline station, making it sensible for commuters or those seeking rental income.
Be upfront about a few trade-offs: the total floor area is modest (approx. 457 sq ft) so storage and furniture layout need careful planning. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which may be less efficient and more costly than gas in some cases. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow locally, which could affect home-working without a wired alternative.
Overall, this compact flat offers a low-cost entry into homeownership with long-term tenure security and sensible communal running costs. It suits a buyer wanting a contemporary, low-upkeep property close to transport links — or an investor looking for a straightforward rental let where appliances, parking and storage are ready to go.
