This third-floor two-bedroom apartment in Sapphire House offers a modern, low-maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers or commuters. The open-plan living/dining area opens onto a balcony with southern aspects, while a high-spec fitted kitchen includes integrated Bosch appliances. Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in wardrobes; the master has an ensuite and the family bathroom is fully tiled with LED fittings.
Practical benefits include a long 250-year lease from 2015, secure underground parking with a designated garage space, lift access and good storage including a walk-in cupboard and utility space. Orpington station is within walking distance, and local shops, leisure facilities and two outstanding secondary schools are all nearby.
Notable running costs and considerations: the development has an average service charge of about £4,000 per year and a ground rent of approximately £400 annually. Heating is provided by a community scheme, which can limit individual control and potentially affect costs. The area records a very high crime statistic, which should be factored into security and insurance decisions.
Offered chain-free, the flat presents a straightforward move-in option with modern finishes and commuter appeal, but buyers should account for ongoing service costs and the community heating arrangement when assessing value.
