Summary - HARBLEDOWN MANOR 11 GOUDHURST ROAD GILLINGHAM ME8 6LL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable one-bedroom starter flat near amenities and schools.
Long lease — 94 years remaining
Well-presented one-bedroom flat on the first floor, good for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing. The flat feels light and efficient, with a modern fitted kitchen, a generous lounge and practical shower room. At about 431 sq ft, the layout suits single occupancy or a couple seeking an affordable starter home.
Key long-lease security is a strength: 94 years remaining and low ground rent of £10. Service charges run at £831 (below average), and there is no flood risk. The block dates from the mid-20th century with double glazing and mains gas central heating, offering basic modern comforts.
Buyers should note material local and building considerations. The area records high crime levels and very high deprivation locally, which may affect resale and rental demand. The building’s cavity walls are noted as having no installed insulation (assumed), so heating costs and comfort could be improved with upgrades. The flat is compact, so check space needs against the stated room sizes.
Interested parties must verify lease, service charges, and measurements. This property presents an affordable entry point to the area with potential to personalise and improve energy efficiency.
