Set on the first floor of a well-kept late-20th-century block, this two-bedroom leasehold flat is a compact, commuter-friendly home. The layout includes an open-plan living/dining area, a newly fitted bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe off the principal bedroom. An allocated off-street parking space is included, and the long lease (circa 960 years) reduces long-term ownership uncertainty.
Practical running notes: heating is by electric storage heaters and the annual service charge is around £1,700. Council tax is very low, which helps keep ongoing costs down, but buyers should note main fuel is electricity rather than gas. The building and apartment present in neutral modern condition, ready to move into with little immediate work required.
Location is the property’s main selling point — it sits close to Erith station and local amenities, making it suitable for commuters, first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking steady rental demand. The surrounding area is a major conurbation with good mobile and broadband connectivity, but local crime levels are high and the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived; buyers should weigh these local factors against the transport links and price.
This flat suits someone wanting a low-maintenance, long-lease home with strong transport connections and rental potential. It’s compact in size, so it’ll appeal to singles, couples or investors rather than families needing more space.
