Designed for downsizers and over‑60s seeking a low‑maintenance base close to Maidstone town centre, this third‑floor one‑bed apartment in Leander Heights delivers modern living in a purpose‑built retirement complex. The open-plan lounge/kitchen leads to a private balcony and the apartment includes allocated underground parking — useful for residents wanting secure, off‑street parking.
This property is offered with the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £149,000 (guide only). The full market price is £225,000; actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age and personal circumstances and may allow purchase of up to a 50% share to protect future value. The extensive lease (996 years) and recent 2020 construction are positives for long‑term security.
Notable practical points are straightforward: the flat is compact at about 417 sq ft, heated by electric room heaters, and sits on the third floor, which may be less suitable for those with limited mobility. The service charge is approximately £1,162 (average), and the area reports very high crime figures — both material factors to consider before viewing.
Overall this is a modern, low‑maintenance retirement apartment with clear value for those eligible for the Lifetime Lease route, but buyers should factor running costs, heating type and local safety statistics into their decision.
