This one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers an attainable route into homeownership through the Discount Market Sale (DMS) scheme, allowing eligible buyers to purchase at 80% of market value. The flat is newly built with a 999-year lease, a 10-year build warranty and two years of developer customer support, so you benefit from modern construction standards and post-sale protection. The open-plan living/kitchen makes efficient use of the 438 sq ft and includes integrated appliances and contemporary finishes.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, an EV charging point, a private entrance and a small garden—unusual extras for a compact property. The interior has Karndean flooring and fitted carpets, a modern bathroom with fitted mirrors and fixtures, and a contemporary handleless kitchen with a Quartz composite sink. Annual estate and building maintenance is covered by a service charge of approximately £454, which is below average for managed developments.
Be aware this is a shared ownership sale via the DMS route with eligibility criteria: buyers must meet the scheme rules to purchase at the reduced price. The flat is small at 438 sq ft and best suited to a single buyer or couple; storage and living space are compact. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area, which may affect home working. Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance new build in a well-served Kent village that gives priority access to local people and key workers seeking an affordable step onto the ladder.
