A bright, modern two-bedroom first-floor apartment on Rochester Riverside, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance living and a fast commute. Built in 2021, the open-plan kitchen/lounge opens onto a Juliet balcony and benefits from contemporary fittings throughout. The property includes an ensuite and a second bathroom, plus allocated off-street parking.
This is offered via shared ownership (35% share available at £110,250) with a monthly rent of £484.24 and a service charge of £69.23 — service charge reported as below average. The apartment sits on a very long lease (998 years), so lease length is comfortably secure. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note material local considerations: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is assessed as an area of deprivation. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, student-leaning neighbourhood and the wider community includes many migrant families, which may influence local services and atmosphere. Prospective purchasers should also confirm all leasehold and shared-ownership details with their solicitor.
For someone seeking a modern, low-upkeep home with excellent transport links — high-speed rail access and Rochester High Street nearby — this apartment offers a convenient, contemporary base. It’s suitable for buyers wanting affordability via shared ownership, but research into local safety and long-term investment goals is advised before committing.
