Summary - 2 ROCHESTER GATE ROCHESTER ME1 1JG
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact two-bedroom with communal gardens and residents parking.
Warden-assisted retirement flat with 24-hour emergency alarm
A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat close to Rochester High Street, offered with warden support and a 24-hour emergency alarm. The building includes communal gardens, a roof terrace and residents' parking, and the property comes with no forward chain. Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease is an option for over-60s; guide Lifetime Lease price shown at £105,000 (market value £150,000) but the final price depends on age and circumstances.
The apartment is compact at about 603 sq ft and presents straightforward renewal potential — the kitchen and bathroom are dated and the property uses electric storage heaters. Practical positives include double glazing, off-street parking and fast broadband, but the flat will suit buyers comfortable with modest space and some updating.
Important tenure and cost facts: this is leasehold with around 82 years remaining, a high annual service charge of about £4,100 and a small ground rent of £100. The local area is flagged as deprived with a very high crime level, which may affect suitability and resale for some buyers.
Best suited to downsizers or retirees seeking support and convenience in town, this flat offers an affordable entry to Rochester’s centre if you accept maintenance and location trade-offs. All measurements and lease details should be independently checked by solicitors; appliances and services are not confirmed as working.
