Chain free with a new 125-year lease
Bright first-floor maisonette in a quiet cul-de-sac, offered chain free with a new 125-year lease. The flat sits above ground level with a balcony and a private rear garden large enough for entertaining — a rare find for this price band in Maidstone. A garage en-bloc provides useful off-street parking and storage.
Internally the layout is practical: lounge with balcony, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The property totals approximately 700 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, making it comfortable year-round. Fast local broadband and low area crime add to the practical appeal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
There is scope to modernise the kitchen and bathroom to increase value; the home presents a clear opportunity for modest refurbishment rather than a full renovation. Local schools rated Good–Outstanding, nearby shops and bus links make this a convenient spot for families.
Important drawbacks: the property is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £996, which is high and will affect running costs — buyers should confirm all lease terms and service charges with their solicitor. The apartment was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s, so some fixtures may be dated and could require updating over time.
