This chain-free ground-floor apartment in a gated complex offers a low-maintenance retirement base close to Maidstone town centre and transport links. The property is small (about 463 sq ft) but practical, with an L-shaped lounge/diner, two bedrooms and a compact modern kitchen. An allocated off-street parking space and visitor permits are included.
The property is offered with a Leasehold tenure (approx. 134 years remaining) and is marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example for over-60s: an illustrative Lifetime Lease price of £139,000 (guide saving ~33% on full market value £210,000) depending on age and circumstances. The plan allows purchase of up to a 50% share of value to safeguard equity; personalised quotes vary.
Important practical points: heating is by electric room heaters and mains electricity; double glazing is in place. Annual service charge averages around £1,600 and ground rent is approximately £200. The apartment is compact and will suit someone seeking a manageable retirement property rather than a large family home.
Location benefits include proximity to Maidstone East station, the M20 and several well-rated schools and local amenities. Note the local area records a very high crime statistic — purchasers should consider this when viewing and check local safety measures. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
