This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical, move-ready option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance home with outdoor space. The accommodation has been recently renovated — including replastering, rewiring, new boiler and heaters, double-glazed windows, LED lighting and insulated laminate flooring — so day-to-day upkeep is reduced and the property feels modern throughout.
A particular strength is the private southwest-facing rear garden, accessed from the living room via sliding doors; it provides sunny outdoor space uncommon for a ground-floor flat. The layout is straightforward: two double bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen, and a family bathroom within about 659 sq ft. Sittingbourne town centre and the station (direct trains to London) are close by, with a range of local amenities and schools nearby.
Buyers must note this property is being sold by Modern Method of Auction. A non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £7,080 inc VAT) plus other auction-related costs apply and are payable in addition to the bid. The lease has approximately 87 years remaining and the tenure is leasehold — important factors for mortgage LTVs and future saleability.
The area is classified as deprived with a higher local crime level than average; this can influence insurance and resale considerations. Council tax is very low, and telecoms/broadband and mobile signal are good. Overall this is a sensible, recently updated flat with outdoor space and transport links; auction and lease details should be checked carefully before bidding.
