Freshly renovated one-bed in the heart of Maidstone, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Central High Street location with shops, cafes, bars on your doorstep
Step into a freshly renovated one-bedroom apartment positioned directly on Maidstone High Street, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking central convenience or an investor after easy-let potential. The interior is low-maintenance with a modern open-plan kitchen-dining-living area and a comfortable bedroom — ready to move into without major works.
The location is the apartment’s principal strength: shops, cafes, bars and two train stations are within equal distance, making commuting straightforward and town-centre living effortless. Excellent mobile signal supports remote working, while nearby amenities and entertainment provide a lively urban lifestyle.
Be clear on the practical downsides: the property lies in a deprived area with very high recorded crime rates, and local broadband speeds are very slow. The apartment is leasehold with 142 years remaining, a service charge of £950pa and a small ground rent of £75pa — factors buyers and lenders typically review. Heating is electric via boiler and radiators.
Overall this is a practical, move-in-ready flat for buyers prioritising location and low upkeep. First-time purchasers should weigh the convenience and rental prospects against local crime statistics and slow broadband. Investors will find straightforward landlord appeal but should factor those same local considerations into yield and management plans.
