A light-filled, two-bedroom second-floor apartment in a converted oast, designed for over-55s who want village living with low-maintenance convenience. The sitting/dining room opens to a practical kitchen and the accommodation includes two bedrooms and a modern shower room. A lift serves all floors and the apartment comes with an allocated parking space and well-kept communal gardens.
Practical ownership is straightforward: the lease has been extended to 999 years, there is no ground rent and the 2025 service charge is around £1,680. The property is offered chain free and is near Hadlow village amenities, with Tonbridge and its fast rail services to London reachable within a short drive.
Note the apartment is compact at about 614 sq ft and heated by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; running costs for electric heating can be higher. Broadband speeds are listed as average. Buyers should also note the development levies a service charge and the immediate locality includes areas described as having pockets of deprivation, despite the village’s attractive historic centre and countryside access.
This home will suit someone downsizing who values a low-upkeep, characterful property in a friendly village setting, with straightforward long-lease security and allocated parking. A sensible viewing will confirm whether the size and electric heating match your requirements.
