Set on St Marys Island with uninterrupted panoramic views across the River Medway, this two-bedroom apartment suits anyone seeking a peaceful, waterside life without compromise on convenience. The open-plan living/dining area flows onto a wide balcony, ideal for relaxing or watching the marina activity. A second balcony from the master bedroom extends the outlook and light. The sense of privacy is enhanced by a quiet walkway and well-kept communal landscaping.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: two good-sized bedrooms, a single bathroom and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. At around 668 sq ft, the apartment is an average-sized, well-proportioned home that will suit downsizers, couples, or buy-to-let purchasers. Built around 1996–2002 with double glazing and mains gas central heating, the property presents as low-maintenance and comfortable for day-to-day living.
Practicalities: the long lease (about 900 years) is a strong ownership advantage, and a covered parking space plus an additional outside space to the front add everyday convenience. Annual outgoings include a service charge (c. £1,378 pa) and a modest ground rent; council tax is moderate. Flood risk is low and local crime levels are very low, reinforcing the peaceful, secure feel.
Considerations: this is a leasehold flat with communal maintenance obligations and charges to budget for. There is only one bathroom and no private garden, so outdoor space is limited to balconies and shared areas. Buyers should verify service charge and ground rent figures during conveyancing and arrange any desired cosmetic updates to personalise the interior.
