A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in a convenient Dartford location, recently redecorated and offered with no onward chain. The bright living room opens to a patio/communal area via double-glazed doors; new carpets and paint give a fresh, move-in ready feel. At about 488 sq ft this is an average-sized apartment suitable for single occupants or couples wanting practical, low-maintenance living close to shops, bus routes and Darent Valley Hospital.
The building dates from the late 1980s and benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002) and electric storage heaters. Tenure is leasehold — check remaining lease length and any service charges/ground rent before committing. The area is generally affluent, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, helpful for staying connected or working from home.
Notable negatives are the high local crime level flagged for the neighbourhood and the property’s electric storage heating, which can be less efficient than modern gas central heating. As a ground-floor flat in an end-terrace block, it offers easy access but limited privacy at the front. Overall this is a practical, recently refreshed retirement home that suits buyers prioritising location and low upkeep, provided they factor in tenure and heating considerations.
