About
Mann Dartford are delighted to offer this well-proportioned one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment, set within the highly sought-after Southdowns Village in South Darenth.
Offered to the market chain-free, this property is ideal for those looking to downsize and enjoy independent living within a secure, welcoming, and beautifully maintained community.
The accommodation features a spacious lounge, a separate kitchen, a good-sized bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a bathroom.
While the apartment would benefit from some modernisation, it provides a fantastic opportunity to create a home tailored entirely to your own taste and style.
Southdowns Village is a unique retirement development set within 17.5 acres of picturesque Kent countryside, offering a peaceful environment while maintaining the warmth and convenience of village living.
Residents enjoy a strong sense of community alongside completely independent, self-contained accommodation.
Despite its tranquil setting, Southdowns is perfectly placed for everyday amenities - just 4 miles from Dartford and around 6 miles from Bluewater Shopping Centre.
A local bus service, with a stop inside the village, ensures excellent accessibility. For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact Mann Dartford today.
