Compact one-bed with garden, long lease and easy walk to Orpington Station.
Chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette with private garden
This chain-free ground-floor maisonette provides a compact, practical first home or buy-to-let in a well-connected part of Orpington. The one-bedroom layout opens onto a private, low-maintenance garden and includes off-street parking — useful extras for city commuters and downsizers.
Living space is modest at around 383 sq ft but arranged for everyday comfort: a living room for relaxing, a generous bedroom with direct garden access, and straightforward outdoor space for summer evenings or container gardening. Orpington Station and High Street are within walking distance, giving fast links to central London and plenty of local amenities.
Buyers should note the property is heated by electric storage heaters and carries an EPC rating of D. Service charge is ad-hoc and ground rent is a small £75; the long lease (circa 950 years) is a real positive. The flat is compact and may suit those seeking a low-maintenance base rather than large family accommodation.
Overall this maisonette suits first-time buyers, investors seeking a lettable one-bed close to transport, or downsizers wanting a low-upkeep garden. The combination of chain-free sale, long lease and nearby transport make it a straightforward purchase, provided you are comfortable with electric heating and the modest size.
