Summary - 69 Mandeville Court, Union Street ME14 1JY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Low-maintenance town-centre living with on-site parking and communal upkeep.
Over-55s only residence, one bedroom and shower room
This purpose-built one-bedroom flat in central Maidstone is offered exclusively for over-55s and sold chain free. Set in a low-rise, brick block with a communal forecourt and private parking, the apartment provides straightforward, low-maintenance living close to shops, transport links and local amenities.
Internally the layout is conventional: bedroom, separate kitchen, living room and shower room. Double glazing has been installed and the building is generally well maintained externally. Electric storage heating and an all-electric supply make the property simple to run for occasional use, though heating costs can be higher than gas alternatives.
Important practical points are clear: the lease has only around 30 years remaining — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend against it, so this will suit cash buyers or those prepared to arrange specialist financing or fund a lease extension. The service charge is approximately £2,700 per year. There is no private garden and the surrounding neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels, which some buyers will want to consider.
Overall this flat is best for an older buyer seeking a central, low-upkeep home with parking and close amenities, or an investor targeting specialist retirement accommodation who understands lease issues and ongoing charges.
