Property Description

This bright and spacious one-bedroom apartment is set within the beautifully maintained Southdowns Retirement Village, offering peaceful, independent living exclusively for the over 55s. Surrounded by 17.5 acres of picturesque Kent countryside, Southdowns provides the charm of village life with the convenience of nearby towns. Dartford is just four miles away, and Bluewater Shopping Centre is around six miles, both easily accessible via the local bus service which stops within the village.

The apartment is located on the first floor and features a generously sized, light-filled living room with countryside views, a modern shower room, a large double bedroom, and a stylish kitchen with a modern white suite, ample work surfaces, and excellent natural light , perfect for those who enjoy cooking in a bright and practical space.

Southdowns offers a strong sense of community, centred around Shaw Hall, which houses the licensed bar, TV lounge, social areas, grocery shop, launderette, and coffee shop. Residents can take part in fitness classes, games evenings, and community events, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. While Southdowns promotes independent living, there are nurses and carers on-site for emergency assistance, along with helpful administration staff available to support residents as needed.

A non-denominational 19th-century church on-site hosts fortnightly services and various community events, while a mobile library visits regularly, and afternoon teas and talks are often arranged. Whether you're looking for a quiet life or to become part of a welcoming and active community, this apartment is the perfect place to call home.
