This well-presented ground-floor flat offers low-maintenance living and allocated off-street parking in Covesfield, Gravesend. At about 506 sq ft it suits someone wanting a compact, manageable home close to shops, bus routes and local amenities. The building is modern (built 2003–2006) and has double glazing.
The property is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price for over-60s: £139,000 (illustrative saving versus full market value £210,000). The Lifetime Lease option typically reduces upfront cost but is available only to those aged 60+; the actual price depends on age and circumstances. The flat is also available to buy at full market value by other buyers.
Practical points: the tenure is leasehold with about 103 years remaining and a service charge shown at around £1,000 (to be verified). Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds in the area are slow. Crime levels are above average locally, and the flat is small — suitable for a single person, couple or downsizer rather than a family.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-upkeep retirement or buy-to-let opportunity close to good schools, supermarkets and transport. Buyers should check lease terms, service charge details and running costs, and consider the Lifetime Lease illustration carefully to see if it meets their long-term plans.
