This third-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Kings Lodge offers comfortable, low-maintenance living close to Maidstone town centre. At around 576 sq ft the interior is freshly carpeted and presented ready to move into, with a modern fitted kitchen and integrated appliances. The development is designed for older owners and includes a 24-hour Careline, secure entry, and an on-site Lodge Manager five days a week.
Owners benefit from communal facilities including landscaped gardens, an Owners’ Lounge with regular events, and a bookable Guest Suite for visitors (also available across Churchill Living sites). Heating is energy-efficient via an air source heat pump and the apartment is chain-free with a long lease (around 117 years remaining), making it straightforward to buy and move in.
Buyers should note the full cost of communal living: an above-average service charge (£5,395.41 pa) and an annual ground rent (£625) apply, and broadband speeds in the building are reported as very slow. The property sits on the third floor of a multi-storey block; while lifts are maintained, mobility within communal areas should be considered. Local crime statistics are high for the area, so prospective purchasers may wish to review local safety measures in person.
Overall this is a practical, modern retirement apartment suited to someone seeking a secure, community-focused home near Maidstone’s amenities. It suits buyers wanting turn-key accommodation with supportive on-site services, provided they are comfortable with the service costs and local broadband/crime considerations.
