2 bed Flat For Sale £135,000
Shaftesbury Road, Gillingham, SP8

*636 Sq. Ft (59 Sq. M)*SHARE OF THE FREEHOLD* A fabulous chance to purchase a purpose built first floor apartment offering around 636 square feet (59 sq. m) of living space with two good sized bedrooms, plenty of storage and situated with easy reach of the town centre and mainline train station. The town provides a selection of shops and supermarkets, doctor and dentists surgeries and schooling for all ages plus a leisure centre. The apartment was built in the mid 1980s and has been a very much cherished and enjoyed home of our sellers. During this time it has been very well maintained with replacement uPVC double glazed windows, the bathroom suite has been updated and a new central heating boiler installed. Additional insulation has also been laid in the loft space. The property offers spacious and comfortable accommodation with the potential to do some updating to one's own taste and design, as and when required and the interior enjoys plenty of sun as it moves around the flat. The sitting room is bathed in morning sunshine, whilst the bedrooms enjoy the warmth of the afternoon sun. Although there is no private garden specifically attached to the flat, the green spaces at the front and rear are maintained by a visiting gardener, and offer scope for small plants or flower pots if desired. It is essential that a viewing is undertaken to truly appreciate what this home has to offer - an ideal first time home, wonderful investment for the rental market and a great lock up and leave UK base. An early viewing is urged to avoid missing out on the opportunity to be the next owner.
