Summary - Clifford Way, Maidstone, Kent, ME16 ME16 8GB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Private garage, balcony river views and a recently refurbished bathroom for quick move-in.
Private garage with additional rear storage
Set on Clifford Way, this well-maintained two-bedroom apartment offers an approachable first purchase or buy-to-let opportunity with genuine practical benefits. The living space is bright and open-plan, the bathroom has been recently renovated, and a private garage with extra storage is included — a useful rarity for riverside homes. A rear balcony looks over the river, extending the living area in warmer months.
There are clear cost and location considerations to weigh. The property is leasehold (135 years remaining) with an above-average service charge of £2,991 and ground rent of £270; these running costs affect affordability and investor returns. The building sits in an area with a higher recorded crime level and the site has a high flooding risk — both important for insurance and long-term suitability.
Practical details suit commuters and first-time buyers: council tax band D, EPC current C (77) with small improvement potential, mains gas central heating and double glazing. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. Chain-free sale simplifies timing for a quick purchase or let-ready turnaround.
Overall, the flat is a compact, low-maintenance home with river views and secure parking that will appeal to buyers prioritising location and convenience, provided they accept the leasehold running costs and local flood/crime considerations.
