Summary - Flat 1 Brenchley House, 1, Edward Betts Close, AYLESFORD ME20 7FQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free purchase with allocated parking and strong commuter links.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, practical open-plan layout
Light-filled ground-floor apartment with an open-plan living area and contemporary kitchen, offering practical two-bedroom accommodation for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout includes an impressive 18ft living/dining room that flows to the kitchen, creating a sociable space for everyday life and entertaining.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking bay, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and commuter convenience: both Barming (c.1,300m) and Aylesford (c.1,500m) stations are walkable, with easy access to M20 J5. The property is offered chain free and sits on a long lease (circa 117 years), making purchase straightforward for buyers seeking quick completion.
Be mindful of local context: the area scores as very deprived with a high local crime rate, which may affect resale or rental demand and day-to-day convenience. The apartment is leasehold with a small ground rent of £250 and average overall size (c.704 sq ft), so budget for service charges and typical communal maintenance over time.
Overall, this modern, low-maintenance flat presents a sensible entry point to the local market — good for a first home or rental investment — but buyers should weigh the neighbourhood indicators and their impact on long-term value and lettability.
