Compact ground-floor flat with garden and long lease, ready for modernisation.
Owns freehold — no ground rent or service charges
This ground-floor maisonette offers bright, practical living in Orpington with the rare benefit of owning the building’s freehold. With two double bedrooms, a living/dining room, fitted kitchen and private rear garden, it suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-running-cost home close to good schools and fast rail links into central London.
The property is double glazed and has gas central heating, but it does require cosmetic updating and some modernisation. At around 543 sq ft the accommodation is compact, and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation — buyers should factor potential improvement costs into plans.
A particularly strong feature is the long lease (over 900 years) and no ground rent or service charges to pay. The front garden could be converted to a driveway subject to planning permission, adding practical kerb appeal and off-street parking potential. Local amenities, good schools and excellent transport links make this a sensible entry into the area.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable purchase for a buyer prepared to refresh and personalise a well-located home, with tangible upside from minor improvements and potential driveway conversion.
