Summary - WATERSEDGE COURT, 1 FLAT 51 WHARFSIDE CLOSE ERITH DA8 1QW
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Well-presented one-bed retirement flat with lift, parking and long lease.
Chain-free one-bedroom retirement apartment on single level
A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment in Waters Edge Court, set in a popular riverside development with lift access and plentiful parking. The flat has a generous lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes — arranged on a single level for easy living.
The building offers retirement-focused communal facilities including a lounge, laundry room and a guest suite, plus lift access to all floors. The property is chain-free and comes with a long lease of over 100 years, making it straightforward for a downsizer seeking immediate occupation.
There are some practical drawbacks to note: service charges average around £3,000 a year and the ground rent is £773, which buyers should factor into running costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the small kitchen is dated and may suit updating. The area is in a deprived district with very high local crime statistics — prospective buyers should consider local safety and security measures.
Overall, this compact apartment will suit someone downsizing who wants riverside convenience, easy access to shops and public transport, and retirement facilities on site. It offers a comfortable, low-maintenance base with scope to modernise the kitchen and personalise the interior.
