Tenure is leasehold — prospective purchasers should request full lease details, annual service charge and ground rent. Note the development is in an area described with higher local crime, so check local reports if safety is a priority.
Location adds convenience: Staplehurst high street is on the doorstep with shops, a health centre and train station nearby for direct services to London. Energy-efficient heating and secure camera entry are included, making this a straightforward, supported option for downsizing owners seeking community-focused living.
