A bright two-bedroom retirement apartment on the fourth floor with a pleasant side view over the River Thames. The lounge/diner is naturally lit, the kitchen and shower room are modern, and two internal cupboards add useful storage. Lift access, a communal lounge, laundry room and a private residents’ car park support independent living for the over-55s.
Practical details suit a straightforward purchase: a long lease (c.963 years), no forward chain and council tax band C. The property is compact at about 406 sq ft, so it fits downsizers looking for a low-maintenance home close to Gravesend town centre and the riverside promenade.
Be aware of the material facts: electric storage heaters provide heating and the property runs on electricity (no communal gas), which can affect running costs. The service charge is £3,522 per year – this covers communal facilities but is a significant ongoing cost. EPC is listed as TBC.
This apartment will suit someone seeking community living and convenience rather than large internal space. It offers easy access to local shops, transport links and nearby amenities, but buyers should factor service charges, electric heating and the compact footprint into their decision.
