Summary - HUDSON HOUSE FLAT 7 VICTORIA DRIVE SOUTH DARENTH DARTFORD DA4 9NB
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Easy single-level living with long rear views in a popular retirement village.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with private patio
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat offering easy single-level living and private outdoor space. The flat sits within the Southdowns Retirement Village and benefits from long rear views and its own patio — useful for morning light and light gardening in a manageable space. With no onward chain this presents a straightforward move for someone downsizing or seeking a low-effort base.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the interior is modest and in need of modernisation. Double glazing is already installed (pre-2002) and heating is provided via a community mains gas scheme, but the flat would benefit from cosmetic updates and some improvement to broadband connectivity. Leasehold tenure and communal management apply; prospective buyers should check lease details and any service charges.
Practical positives include very good mobile signal, a very low council tax band and a popular, self-contained retirement community with local bus links and nearby places of worship. Drawbacks to note: broadband is slow, the property is dated and will require refurbishment to meet contemporary tastes, and local recorded crime levels are above average. Overall this is a sensible, convenient option for a retiree wanting ground-floor ease and clear potential to personalise a compact home.
