Summary - HOMEBIRCH HOUSE FLAT 1 HUNTING GATE BIRCHINGTON CT7 9EL
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Chain-free, garden-access flat near Birchington station and seafront — lease and charges need checking.
Ground-floor retirement flat with direct communal garden access
A well-presented ground-floor retirement flat offering easy access and communal garden views, tucked a short walk from Birchington High Street and the station. The apartment is chain-free and ready to move into, with a bright lounge and a generous bedroom laid out for comfortable, low-maintenance living.
Practical positives include direct access to the communal gardens, a garage for parking/storage, and a location close to shops, bus routes, the train station and the seafront. Double glazing was fitted after 2002 and the property sits in a low-crime, affluent area with good local amenities and average broadband.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold retirement flat with only around 60 years remaining on the lease — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. The service charge is relatively high at £4,615pa and there is an annual ground rent of £500. Heating is provided by electric room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with mains gas or communal systems.
Overall this apartment will suit a downsizer or retiring buyer seeking a quiet, well-located flat with communal facilities and minimal immediate refurbishment. The lease length and service costs are the material issues to check with your solicitor and mortgage adviser before committing.
