Summary - 43 FRIARS COURT MAIDSTONE ME14 1ER
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Comfortable warden-assisted flat near Maidstone town centre for over 60s.
Chain-free, warden-assisted development for over-60s
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Friars Court is designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living for the over-60s. The flat is chain-free and set within a warden-assisted development, with lift access, communal lounge and gardens that support an active social life without heavy upkeep.
The interior offers a spacious lounge, a modern fitted kitchen and a tiled shower room; fitted mirrored wardrobes provide useful storage. Electric wall-mounted/storage heaters and double glazing are fitted, making the apartment straightforward to run, although heating is solely electric rather than gas.
Practical costs and tenure details are important: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £2,618 and ground rent about £442. The area shows signs of deprivation and recorded very high local crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ sense of security despite the on-site warden.
This home is best for downsizers or retirees seeking central Maidstone convenience — shops, buses and local amenities are within easy reach. The flat suits someone wanting a ready-to-live-in apartment with communal support, while buyers seeking long-term capital growth or a lengthy lease should factor in the remaining term and charges.
