Summary - Corys Road, Rochester, Medway ME1 1GU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Contemporary two-bed with parking and great rail links — 50% shared ownership option.
Allocated off-street parking included
A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment on the popular Rochester Riverside development, offered as a 50% shared ownership (50% share £147,500). The apartment benefits from an open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner, a small private balcony and allocated off-street parking — practical features for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city-base with easy rail links.
The home is compact (around 561 sq ft) but thoughtfully laid out: a 21'3" open-plan reception creates a flexible living area and the principal bedroom is a comfortable double. The lease is very long (995 years), and mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators is installed. The location puts you close to Rochester High Street, local amenities and the high-speed rail station, making commuting straightforward.
There are important factors to note before viewing. This is shared ownership with a monthly rent of £385.40 on the unsold share, plus an average monthly service charge of £187.66 (approx. £2,244 pa) and a small ground rent of £240 pa. The wider area scores as deprived and local crime levels are very high, which may concern some buyers. The apartment is small overall, so it suits buyers who prioritise location and affordability over generous internal space.
For first-time buyers seeking a lower-cost route onto the property ladder near excellent transport links, this apartment offers genuine value: long lease, contemporary finish and allocated parking. Buyers should check shared ownership terms, service charge cover and local area suitability before committing.
