This ground-floor, three-bedroom maisonette sits on the lakeside edge of Larkfield and delivers genuine outdoor space alongside practical family living. The flat has its own front door, two gated parking spaces and an expansive deck with unspoilt views over the lakes, plus a separate grassed garden and shed — rare for a ground-floor apartment and ideal for children or entertaining.
Inside, the layout is straightforward and family-friendly: a large dual-aspect kitchen-diner for day-to-day living and a very large living room that opens onto the deck. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite with both bath and separate shower; a second bedroom shares a jack-and-jill shower room and there is a third double bedroom. Built 1996–2002, the home has double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C.
Practical considerations are important here. The property is leasehold (long lease remaining) and sits in a high flood-risk area; buyers should obtain flood cover and check insurance costs. Local crime levels are reported higher than average, so consider security measures and local checks. The area is otherwise affluent and well-connected, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby schools and Leybourne Lakes Country Park for outdoor activities.
Overall this maisonette suits families seeking lakeside outdoor space without stairs, or investors looking for a distinctive rental with parking and private garden. Be aware of the flooding risk, neighbourhood crime levels and the age of some fittings when assessing running costs and any planned updates.
