This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in central Maidstone offers modern, low-maintenance living with secure gated parking — a practical choice for first-time buyers seeking town-centre convenience. The open-plan living area and contemporary kitchen create a bright, usable space, while double glazing and underfloor heating (mains gas boiler) add comfort and energy efficiency.
The property benefits from a long lease (999 years) and share of freehold, reducing leasehold uncertainty. At about 829 sq ft overall, the home provides useful internal space and built-in bedroom storage, making it easy to move in and personalise. Proximity to all three Maidstone train stations, the main bus station and major roads supports commuting and local amenities.
There are some important considerations. The wider area records high crime levels and some deprivation, which may affect personal comfort or future resale in the short term. The building appears modern and generally well-maintained, but rooms are described as compact in places and the service charge averages £1,300 per year — factor this into running costs.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a straightforward, centrally located property with strong transport links and rental potential. Viewings are recommended to assess room proportions and the communal environment in person.
