This ground-floor, one-bedroom assisted-living apartment sits a short walk from historic Rochester and the mainline station, offering convenient town-centre living for over-55s. The block provides secure entry, a welcoming reception and warden-assisted services, making daily life easier for downsizers seeking low-maintenance comfort.
At about 405 sq ft the flat is compact but thoughtfully laid out with a traditional living room, bay window and neutral finishes. Double glazing and electric storage heaters supply basic thermal comfort; the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s so cosmetic updating or selective maintenance may be needed over time.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold and designed for retirement living, council tax is low and public transport, shops and local amenities are immediately accessible. Note the area records very high crime levels and the flat’s small footprint limits flexibility for major adaptation.
This apartment suits a buyer wanting affordable, central assisted-living accommodation with easy access to services and companionship on site. It is not ideal if you need large living spaces, on-site parking, or are seeking a long-term modernised investment without further works.
