A spacious two-bedroom ground-floor apartment on Kennet Island, offered with a very long lease (999 years from 2006). At about 989 sq ft this flat feels larger than typical city apartments, with a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and an en-suite to the master bedroom. Its low-maintenance brick-complex setting places shops, cafés and transport links within easy reach, and the property carries no flood risk.
The flat is best suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a ready-to-move option with long lease security and good internal space.

Buyers should note some material drawbacks: the property relies on electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can mean higher running costs.

Overall, this is a large, modern-feeling apartment in a well-connected urban location, with clear trade-offs between space/lease length and local area environment.
