This first-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat occupies a riverside position in Waters Edge Court, offering roomy living and a private balcony with river views. The layout is traditional and practical: a 23'2" lounge/diner, double-glazed windows, a fitted bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and an eat-in kitchen. The building is modern and well kept, with communal areas and laundry facilities suited to over-60s living.
Clear positives include the river-facing balcony, a chain-free sale and 102 years remaining on the lease, giving straightforward purchase mechanics and reasonable long-term tenure. The flat is electrically heated with storage heaters and is double glazed — simple, low-complexity systems that suit a quieter retirement lifestyle but can be more costly to run than gas alternatives.
Buyers should note the practical running costs: an annual service charge of about £2,296 and a ground rent of £350 (paid twice yearly). The local area is described as deprived with very high recorded crime levels; prospective buyers should visit at different times to assess local amenity access and personal comfort. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
This property will suit someone seeking a secure, low-maintenance riverside base close to Erith town centre and its amenities, or an investor targeting retirement accommodation. It is offered chain-free, ready for immediate occupation or light updating to personalise the interior.
