Property Oracle says ..

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located on the desirable Leybourne Lakes development in Larkfield, Kent. The property benefits from a convenient location with nearby schools including Brookfield Junior School, Lunsford Primary School, and Brookfield Infant School which all have a good to outstanding ofsted rating. Several train stations are within reasonable commuting distance, providing connections to surrounding areas. The interior features a modern kitchen, spacious living/dining area, and two bedrooms. One bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, while the second one has been set up as a home office. Two bathrooms cater for resident’s convenience. The apartment also includes a private balcony offering a pleasant outdoor space, although it is not extensive. The lack of garden space is a limitation for those looking for more outdoor space, however, the nearby Leybourne Lakes provides a nice natural amenity. The apartment itself seems well-maintained, needing minor updates rather than major renovation work. The price appears relatively fair compared to other similar properties in the area, considering its location and apparent condition, though further comparative data is needed for a complete valuation. The development also boasts allocated parking and private electric gates, adding to security and convenience. Overall, it presents itself as a well-positioned, reasonably priced apartment suitable for first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
