This ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits in the centre of Eastchurch and offers an unusually private rear garden and an allocated off-street parking space — rare extras for a property of this size. The layout is compact with an open-plan living area and kitchenette; double-glazed windows and doors are already fitted. Its single-level arrangement makes it a practical alternative to a bungalow for someone wanting one-floor living without steps.
Important practical points are straightforward: the flat is chain free, close to village amenities including shops, pub, church and Dicksons Field directly behind the property, and broadband speeds are reported as fast. The accommodation is small (approximately 369 sq ft) and will suit a single occupant or couple seeking low-maintenance village life rather than a family needing lots of space.
Buyers must note the lease has 62 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders have minimum lease-length requirements and may refuse standard lending on this property; specialist lenders might be available but buyers should obtain mortgage advice before committing. There is also an annual service charge and ground rent which should be factored into running costs.
Cosmetic updating is likely to be needed in places; the building shows mid-20th-century external detailing and the interior is best described as a tidy, small flat rather than recently refurbished. The location and garden give clear value for those prepared to accept the size and lease limitations.
