Affordable ground-floor flat near Freehold Tram Station, ready for updating.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with sensible, compact layout
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Whitstable Close offers straightforward, single-level living close to Freehold Tram Station and local shops. The layout includes an entrance hall with good storage, a comfortable lounge, fitted kitchen and bathroom, and a bedroom of sensible proportions—suitable for a single occupant or couple.
Practical advantages include off-street parking, rear communal gardens, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The lease has around 100 years remaining and there is no notable flood risk. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs for a budget-conscious buyer.
The property is in a very deprived area and the accommodation is small, so it will suit someone prioritising convenience and low maintenance rather than spacious living. Some internal areas show basic finishes and would benefit from cosmetic updating; this presents straightforward refurbishment potential for improving comfort or rental appeal.
Overall, the flat is an affordable, low-burden option for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a compact, well-located home with nearby transport links. Be aware of the neighbourhood’s wider economic challenges when considering longer-term plans.
