Summary - 41 GARDINER CLOSE ORPINGTON BR5 3HW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Low-maintenance first home or buy-to-let near fast rail links.
One-bedroom first-floor flat, 442 sq ft
A bright one-bedroom first-floor flat offering a compact, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let in Orpington. The living room, separate kitchen and double bedroom sit within 442 sq ft of traditional layout, with double glazing, gas central heating and fast broadband — practical features for everyday comfort and rental demand.
Sold via modern auction method and offered chain-free, this property suits first-time buyers who want a quick move or investors seeking a straightforward lettable unit close to transport links. Orpington station (fast services into London), local shops, leisure facilities and a choice of schools are all within easy reach, supporting commuter and family appeal.
Important sale terms and costs are material to any decision: the purchase is via a reservation period with a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a separate Buyer Information Pack fee — these are payables in addition to the bid price. The flat is leasehold with approximately 87 years remaining, and parking is on-street only.
Practical considerations: the area records above-average crime levels, and the building is a system-built semi-detached form from the early 1990s, which may affect long-term maintenance or mortgage conditions for some lenders. Inspect carefully and check lease and auction documentation before bidding.
