This one-bedroom second-floor apartment sits a short walk from Chatham station, offering quick access to local shops, cafes and transport links. The living room and bedroom are good-sized for the square footage, and an allocated parking space is included — a rare convenience so close to the station. Broadband and mobile signals are strong.
The building is a 1980s/90s brick block with standard ceiling heights and double glazing. The property is leasehold with around 120 years remaining, a below-average service charge (£566) and a small ground rent (£70). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than mains gas.
There are material local drawbacks: the area is described as very deprived and recorded crime levels are very high. Buyers should weigh local safety and neighbourhood factors carefully. The flat’s condition is average for its build era and may suit someone wanting low-maintenance, not a full renovation project.
For buyers aged 60+, this property is being marketed as suitable for the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease. The guide Lifetime Lease price is £93,000 (illustrative average saving c.33% against the £140,000 market price); actual price depends on age and individual circumstances. Verify all tenure, lease and appliance details with your solicitor before committing.
