A larger-than-average two-bedroom apartment on Augustus Lane offering open-plan living, a private balcony and allocated parking. The neutral, modern decor and generous 930 sq ft footprint set this flat apart within the development and make it ready to move into for a household or commuter couple.
Practical points suit families and professionals: it is about 0.4 miles from Orpington station with fast links to central London, and close to high-performing schools including Newstead Wood and St Olave’s. The property sits above a commercial unit (Tesco), so day-to-day convenience is excellent, though the location brings typical urban activity and some street-level noise.
The legal and running costs are straightforward but important to note. The apartment is currently shared ownership, with the owner set to stair-step to 100% on completion; the lease has about 107 years remaining. Service charges run at roughly £297.67 pcm (approx £3,572.04 annually), heating is via a community scheme, and crime levels in the area are recorded as very high — buyers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications.
Overall, this chain-free flat offers substantial internal space for the price band, strong commuter access, and local schooling advantages. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers wanting convenience and ready-to-live-in condition, but those sensitive to service charges, communal heating, or urban noise should inspect carefully.
