A well-presented two-bedroom top-floor apartment in the gated Scotney Gardens development, offered with no onward chain and an extended lease (167 years). The generous lounge and separate kitchen make the flat feel spacious for its size, while double glazing and modern finishes keep upkeep low. Off-street parking permits for two vehicles and pleasant communal gardens add practical outdoor space.
Practical running costs include a service charge of approximately £1,789.39pa, ground rent of £175pa and an insurance charge of £298.73pa. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters; buyers who prefer central heating should factor potential upgrade costs into their plans. The apartment is compact overall (about 523 sq ft) with modest bedroom sizes, so it suits couples, first-time buyers or investors rather than those needing large family space.
Location is a genuine asset: riverside walks nearby, easy access to Maidstone town centre and mainline rail stations. Note the immediate area records higher crime levels, so check local reports if safety is a priority. EPC rated C and council tax band D provide a reasonable energy and running-cost profile for an apartment of this age.
