This well-presented first-floor apartment on Rochester Riverside offers a contemporary open-plan living space and allocated parking — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance home with good transport links. The property is offered as a 35% shared ownership at £110,250 (full market value £315,000), with monthly rent of £484.24 and a monthly service charge of £69.23. The long lease (998 years) removes typical short-lease concerns.
Inside, the light kitchen/living/dining area opens to a Juliet balcony, creating a bright social hub. The apartment includes two bedrooms, an en-suite to the main bedroom, and a family bathroom. Constructed in 2021, the building benefits from modern gas central heating, contemporary finishes and efficient thermal performance.
Practical advantages include allocated off-street parking, excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds, and proximity to Rochester High Street and the high-speed rail station — useful for commuters. Local schools include strong options such as Fort Pitt Grammar School and several independent choices nearby.
Important practical points to consider: the property is leasehold/shared ownership and carries ongoing rent and service charge commitments; buyers must qualify for shared ownership. The local area records very high crime rates and is classified as deprived, which may concern some purchasers despite the development’s modern appearance. Buyers should verify all tenure and cost details with their solicitor.
