Summary - TINTAGEL MANOR FLAT 18 SKINNER STREET GILLINGHAM ME7 1LH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bedroom apartment ideal for first-time buyers and investors near shops and station.
Two bedrooms, approximately 646 sqft internal space
Set on Skinner Street, this two-bedroom flat offers a spacious 646 sqft layout ideal for first-time buyers or investors. The property is habitable and available at a competitive £160,000, with permit parking currently around £30 per year and no flooding risk. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living and working from home.
The block dates from the late 1960s–1970s and is externally maintained; the flat has double glazing (install date unknown) and a mains gas boiler with radiators. Construction likely has uninsulated cavity walls, so heating costs may be higher than more modern homes. The council tax band is very cheap, which helps running costs.
This location sits in a busy town-centre area with a wide choice of shops, services, and public transport, including a nearby train station. Several primary schools rated Good are within reach and secondary provision is available locally. The neighbourhood is very deprived with a very high recorded crime rate; buyers should consider security and local conditions carefully.
For investors, the central location and permitted parking support lettability, though rental income will depend on local demand and tenant preferences. For owner-occupiers, the flat offers immediate move-in potential but also scope for cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements to add value over time. Leasehold terms should be checked before committing.
