Modern two-bed starter with balcony and good commuter links, close to Farningham Road station.
Two-bedroom, open-plan living with private balcony
A well-presented two-bedroom apartment in a modern riverside development, ideal for first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in starter home. The open-plan living area opens onto a private balcony that overlooks landscaped communal gardens and a small stream, giving a pleasant waterside aspect and good natural light.
Practical features include loft storage, off-street communal parking and double glazing. The location suits commuters: Farningham Road station is about 0.6 miles away with direct services, and road links give straightforward access to the A2/M2 and M25. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and nearby amenities cover shops, pubs and healthcare.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge of approximately £2,500 and ground rent of £250. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area and local crime rates are above average — both facts to consider for insurance and long-term running costs. Private outdoor space is limited to the balcony; communal grounds are small to average in size.
Overall this compact, contemporary apartment offers low-maintenance living and strong commuter links, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or investors prepared for the recurring leasehold costs and the location’s known risks.
