This bright one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a purpose-built retirement complex for over-60s, offered chain-free and ready to move into. At about 535 sq ft the layout delivers a generous bedroom with fitted wardrobe, a comfortable lounge with an electric fireplace, accessible kitchen with lowered worktops, and a modern shower room. Communal facilities include a lift, large residents' lounge, caretaker presence and a sunny terrace for socialising.
The location is a strong practical benefit: town-centre convenience with Waitrose and many shops on the doorstep, riverside walks nearby leading to Tonbridge Castle, and gated communal parking at the rear. The block was constructed in the 2000s and benefits from double glazing and low-maintenance brick elevations.
Be aware of a few important facts that will affect ownership decisions. The property is leasehold, served by electric storage heaters and mains electricity (no communal gas), and sits in an area assessed as having above-average crime. Flood risk is classed as medium for the location. Broadband speeds are only average, though mobile signal is excellent.
Overall this apartment suits someone over 60 looking to downsize into a secure, low-maintenance home with good local amenities and riverside access. It offers immediate occupation and straightforward communal living, but buyers should check lease terms, service charges, and consider heating running costs and local flood and safety measures before committing.
