A rare top-floor two-bedroom flat offering unusually generous living space — 775 sq ft — in a gated Northfleet development. The open-plan living/dining room exceeds 24ft, has dual-aspect windows and a Juliette balcony that brings light into the principal space. Two double bedrooms, a separate W/C and a family bathroom suit first-time buyers or couples wanting comfortable, spread-out accommodation.
Practical features include secure gated access, private residential parking, well-maintained communal gardens and gas central heating. The long lease (184 years remaining) reduces immediate leasehold pressure. Commuters benefit from Northfleet station about a mile away and Ebbsfleet/Gravesend within roughly 1.6–1.7 miles.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of around £2,200 per year and periodic ground rent reviews (every 25 years). The surrounding area shows higher crime rates and local deprivation indicators, and broadband speeds are reported slow. Double glazing is installed but dated (pre-2002), and the block dates from the early 1990s, so cosmetic updating may be desired.
Overall this is a spacious, well-located apartment for those seeking commuter convenience and off-street parking without immediate lease concerns. It will particularly suit buyers who prioritise space and access to transport over a central, low-crime neighbourhood, and who are comfortable budgeting for service charges and potential modernisation work.
