This one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let in a popular Walderslade pocket. The interior presents a generous living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom across a compact 469 sq ft; double glazing and tidy presentation mean the property is ready to occupy with only light updating required.
Residents benefit from exclusive use of a communal garden and easy access to local shops, good primary and secondary schools, and fast road and bus links to Chatham and Maidstone. Running costs are predictable: an annual service charge of £630 and very low council tax band A.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with approximately 82 years remaining — this will need attention and likely lease extension work; heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas; the wider area registers above-average crime and is relatively deprived, so buyers should consider location risk and insurance implications.
Overall this maisonette suits a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into the area or an investor wanting a straightforward, lettable one-bedroom. It offers sensible room proportions, good transport links and outside space without garden maintenance, but lease length and heating type are material factors to factor into any offer.
