A well-positioned first-floor one-bedroom maisonette offering straightforward, low-maintenance living in Orpington South. The flat has a modern fitted kitchen with appliances, a white bathroom suite and a double bedroom — suitable for a first-time buyer, someone downsizing or a buy-to-let investor.
The property’s practical strengths are clear: a very long lease (957 years), allocated off-street parking and a below-average annual service charge of £75. It is double glazed and has electric heating, and lies within easy walking distance of local shops, bus routes and mainline rail links into London.
Be aware of a couple of trade-offs: the property is compact with a modest internal footprint, and electric heating plus an EPC rating of D suggest higher running costs than modern gas-heated homes. For buyers seeking rental return, estimated rents of £1,250–£1,450 pcm indicate attractive yield potential in this neighbourhood.
Overall this is a low-hassle purchase with no onward chain, strong local schools nearby and convenient transport links — a practical option for first-time buyers or investors wanting immediate let-ready accommodation that requires little initial work.
