1 bed property for sale

Onyx Drive, Sittingbourne ME10

This one-bedroom duplex apartment offers a unique and well-considered layout, spread across two floors to provide clear separation between living and sleeping areas.

Property Overview

Accessed via its own front door, the ground floor comprises a private entrance hallway, a well-proportioned double bedroom, and a shower room with modern fittings including a walk-in shower, wash basin, and WC. This layout allows for greater privacy and makes the property feel more like a compact home than a standard apartment.

Stairs lead up to the first floor, where you’ll find a generously sized open-plan kitchen/living area, measuring approximately 14'3" x 14'3". The space is well-lit by dual aspect windows, creating a bright and inviting environment. There’s ample room for both a seating area and dining setup, while the fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances, base and wall units, and good worktop space — ideal for those who enjoy cooking or entertaining in a social setting.

The property is in good general condition throughout, with neutral décor and functional finishes, though some light cosmetic updating would allow a buyer to easily personalise and refresh the home. It’s a fantastic option for first-time buyers looking for an affordable step onto the property ladder, or investors searching for a ready-to-let unit with low maintenance demands.

A key benefit of this property is its inclusive service charge, which is approximately £310 per month. This covers gas, electricity, water, buildings insurance, and the general maintenance of the building’s exterior and surrounding grounds — offering excellent value and simplified budgeting for the owner. The ground rent is a modest £100 per year.

With a practical layout, generous open-plan living, and essential running costs already accounted for within the service fee, this home offers a convenient and efficient lifestyle for modern living.
