This modern one-bedroom apartment in Maidstone offers contemporary living with sensible running costs. Built in 2022, the home has a bright lounge with a Juliet balcony, a compact modern kitchen with integrated appliances, and an allocated off-street parking space — practical benefits for a first-time buyer.
The property is offered as shared ownership (40% share noted) on a lease with 121 years remaining, making the price accessible while retaining the option to staircase later. Service charges are described as low and the building includes a lift for easy access.
Be frank about the location: the wider area is classified as deprived with a very high local crime rate. That may affect longer‑term resale and day‑to‑day comfort; buyers should research crime trends and consider security measures. Internal space is sensible but not generous — rooms tend toward small to medium sizes — so this suits someone prioritising location and low entry cost over expansive living areas.
For a buyer seeking an affordable city-base close to transport, shops and schools, this apartment delivers modern fixtures, parking and straightforward maintenance. If you need a larger home, a quieter neighbourhood, or full ownership now, this particular offer may not match those priorities.
