Chain-free one-bed with garden, parking and strong commuter links — ideal FTB or investor.
Ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette with rear garden
A bright ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette set on the Hoplands development, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The flat has an open-plan lounge/diner, double bedroom with garden access, a private rear garden and an allocated parking space — practical features that suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Transport links are strong: Gravesend town centre and station are about 1.4 miles away with fast services to London and easy access to the A2/M25.
The property is leasehold (87 years currently stated) with the seller advising a new lease will be granted on completion; there are no stated service charge or ground rent liabilities. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel — running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes, so budget accordingly. The flat has double glazing and was constructed in the late 20th century, offering straightforward maintenance rather than period refurbishment.
Buyers should note important local and property realities: the neighbourhood scores as very deprived and local crime levels are high, which will influence long-term desirability and rental demand for some tenants. The flat is compact (approx. 528 sq ft) and best suits a single occupier, couple or investor seeking a low-management let. Overall, this is a pragmatic, affordable entry-level purchase with outdoor space, parking and good commuter links, balanced by local area challenges and the leasehold tenure details to review carefully.
