This newly renovated two-bedroom purpose-built maisonette in Port Rise, Chatham, offers a ready-to-move-in home or buy-to-let with a long lease and off-street parking. The accommodation is compact to average (approximately 743 sq ft) and arranged over a single level with a light lounge/diner, modern kitchen, shower room and a private balcony overlooking maintained communal lawns.
Practical running costs are clear: mains gas central heating with a modern boiler, double glazing, council tax band C and a long lease (965 years). There is an annual service charge (approx. £2,000) and a small ground rent (£50 pa) to factor into affordability and rental yield calculations.
The development benefits from a secure gated entrance and an allocated parking space—useful for commuters and first-time buyers. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and flood risk is very low. The property is well placed for local shops, transport links and a selection of schools including a high‑performing grammar school nearby.
Important practical considerations: the surrounding area records higher-than-average crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and some buyers’ peace of mind. The flat is leasehold, in a small block, and while recently renovated, buyers should check communal maintenance history and the service charge breakdown before committing.
