A well-presented two-bedroom top-floor apartment designed for over-55s, set in the heart of historic Faversham. The block offers practical communal facilities — residents’ lounge, laundry room, landscaped gardens and allocated off-street parking — plus an on-site warden and 24-hour emergency pull-cord system for added peace of mind. The flat is chain-free and within easy walking distance of shops, Tesco and the mainline station.
Internally the layout is traditional with a spacious lounge, separate fitted kitchen and two good-sized bedrooms across c.510 sq ft. Double glazing is already installed and the flat benefits from lift access, making the top-floor position easier to reach for many. This apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, sociable retirement setting close to local amenities and transport links.
Notable practical points: the property is leasehold with c.87 years remaining and an average annual service charge of £3,216 — factor these into long-term costs. Heating is via electric storage heaters; buyers should expect higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The development is in a very high crime area statistically, so consider personal security arrangements despite the communal support systems.
Overall this is a convenient, comfortable retirement apartment with attractive communal facilities and easy access to Faversham’s town centre. It is best suited to downsizers who prioritise location, community amenities and walkability, and who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the ongoing service charge.
