Set on the ground floor of a Victorian terrace in Brompton, this one-bedroom flat offers character features and a compact, practical layout. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a secure 100-year lease, making it suitable for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a straightforward purchase.
At around 428 sq ft, the flat is small but makes the most of high ceilings and period proportions. Transport links are strong: Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham stations are all within easy reach, and local shops, parks and colleges are close by. Chain-free sale adds convenience for a quick move.
Buyers should note a relatively high average service charge (£2,600) and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, which may affect running costs. The area records a higher crime rate than average, so purchasers should consider security measures. Overall this is a compact, characterful property with clear potential for someone prioritising location and affordability over living space.
