This bright two-bedroom flat in All Saints Gardens offers spacious living across approximately 1,066 sq ft, arranged as a large living room, fitted modern kitchen, family bathroom and two bedrooms. Finished to a good standard and chain-free, it suits first-time buyers and commuters seeking a ready-to-move-in home close to transport.
Location is a strong selling point: the property is about 1 mile from Chatham train station and under an eight-minute walk to Chatham High Street for shops, cafes and services. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming. The building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation (as built).
Practical running costs and tenure details are clear: the lease has around 975 years remaining, council tax is low, and the flat includes allocated off-street parking. Expect an average service charge of £1,760 and a small ground rent of £200 per year — important for budgeting if buying as a homeowner or investor.
Material negatives are candid: the local area shows high crime levels and very high deprivation, which may concern some buyers and affect resale or rental demand. The property is leasehold, and although the lease length is long, buyers should factor in ongoing service charge and ground rent commitments. No flooding risk is recorded.
