Summary - BARFLEUR MANOR 2 MIDDLE STREET GILLINGHAM ME7 5RW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bed flat with long lease, low charges, and good transport links.
Two double bedrooms and 657 sq ft of living space
This two-bedroom, 657 sq ft purpose-built flat on Middle Street offers practical, affordable living in central Gillingham. The apartment has two double bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, a generous lounge/diner and a small balcony — a straightforward layout well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. With 179 years remaining on the lease and a low ground rent, the tenure is secure for the long term.
Practical running costs are attractive: council tax band A and a below-average service charge of £800 per year. The property is offered chain-free and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — conveniences that suit commuters and professionals. Permit on-street parking makes car ownership possible, and local transport links give easy access to the A2/M2.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The building dates from the 1950s and, while the flat is presented in good order, communal areas are older and may need attention over time. Lease restricts pets. The neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels, which may concern families and some buyers. Parking is by permit only — there is no dedicated off-street parking. Prospective purchasers should inspect communal maintenance and safety records and factor potential future refurbishment into budgets.
Overall, this is a practical, low-entry-cost flat in a convenient town-centre location. It will suit first-time buyers who want a ready-to-live-in home with sensible running costs, or investors seeking a rentable, centrally positioned two-bedroom unit with long lease security.
