This ground-floor studio in central Maidstone has been recently refurbished and is offered chain free, making it a straightforward move-in or buy-to-let opportunity. The open-plan living/bedroom benefits from fresh décor, new flooring and a contemporary fitted kitchen with induction hob and integrated washer-dryer (appliances not new). An allocated off-street parking space is included.
Practical running costs are clear: 157 years remain on the lease, ground rent is £100pa and service charge £880pa. Heating is by electric room heaters, so consider higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The apartment’s overall size is small (circa 320 sq ft), best suited to a single occupant, commuter or investor seeking a low-maintenance property.
Location is a key strength — walking distance to Maidstone town centre, shops, bars and both mainline train stations with regular services to London, plus easy access to the M20. Nearby schools include strong-rated options such as Invicta Grammar School. Note the local area has higher crime and deprivation indicators; buyers should weigh this against the central location and rental demand.
This flat presents straightforward, low-upkeep living or a rental-ready investment with long lease security and parking. Buyers should inspect to confirm heating suitability and appliance condition, and consider the small footprint when assessing suitability.
