Set within a private, secure gated development in the heart of the highly desirable village of Marden, this beautifully presented and surprisingly spacious two double bedroom first-floor apartment offers an excellent combination of modern living, security, convenience and village charm.

Just a short walk from Marden mainline railway station, providing direct services into London, the property is ideally suited to first-time buyers, professionals, commuters, downsizers and anyone seeking a peaceful home with excellent transport connections.

With a share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease, allocated parking and no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy village living without compromising on convenience.

Private gated development – security, peace and privacy

One of the standout features of this lovely apartment is its position within an attractive, privately gated development, tucked away from the road yet just moments from Marden High Street.

The gated entrance provides an additional sense of security and exclusivity, while the peaceful setting creates a welcome retreat from everyday life.

The current owners were particularly attracted to the secure surroundings, quiet position and friendly community when they purchased the property.

Bright, spacious and beautifully presented accommodation

The apartment enjoys an abundance of natural light, creating a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere throughout.

Having been tastefully redecorated by the current owners in light, neutral colours, the accommodation is presented in excellent decorative order and is ready for its next owners to move straight into.

At the heart of the home is the generous open-plan kitchen and sitting room, providing a welcoming and sociable space for everyday living, relaxing and entertaining.

The well-planned layout makes excellent use of the available space, while the large windows enhance the feeling of openness.

Two double bedrooms – principal bedroom with en-suite

The accommodation continues with two well-proportioned double bedrooms, making the property ideal for couples, visiting family or buyers requiring a dedicated home office.

The principal bedroom benefits from its own private en-suite, while a separate family bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests.

Additional storage is another excellent feature, including a particularly generous loft space, providing valuable room for belongings that are not needed every day.

Warm, comfortable and economical to run

The owners have particularly appreciated how warm and comfortable the apartment remains throughout the colder months, often requiring relatively little heating.

With gas central heating and an EPC rating of C (80), the property offers a comfortable and practical living environment throughout the year.

Allocated parking and south-facing communal garden

Outside, residents benefit from a south-facing communal rear garden, providing an attractive outdoor space in which to relax and enjoy the warmer weather.

The apartment also comes with one allocated parking space, together with access to a visitor parking space, a particularly useful benefit in such a central village location.

Marden village – A wonderful place to call home

Marden is one of Kent's popular Wealden villages, offering an appealing blend of traditional village character, local amenities and beautiful surrounding countryside.

The apartment is conveniently positioned just off the High Street, within easy walking distance of village shops, everyday amenities and the mainline railway station.

Marden station provides direct rail connections to London, making this an excellent choice for commuters looking to enjoy a quieter lifestyle away from the capital.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside offers delightful walking routes and opportunities to explore the beautiful Kent landscape.

The owners love marden so much they want to stay!

Perhaps one of the strongest endorsements of the location comes from the current owners themselves.

Having thoroughly enjoyed living in the apartment, they are now looking to purchase their next home within Marden itself, rather than leave the village they have grown to love.

They have particularly valued the friendly neighbours, peaceful surroundings, convenience of the station and shops, and beautiful countryside walks.

Their decision to remain in Marden speaks volumes about the appeal of this wonderful village and the lifestyle it offers.

Share of freehold – long-term security and peace of mind

An especially attractive feature is the property's share of freehold, together with a lease originally granted for 999 years from January 2009.

This offers an important advantage over many conventional leasehold apartments and will appeal to buyers seeking greater long-term security and confidence in their purchase.

With an annual service charge of approximately £1,000, including road maintenance, the property offers a practical and appealing proposition for owner-occupiers.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, London commuter, professional couple or downsizer, this is a home that deserves to be viewed.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
