Set on the banks of the River Medway, this one-bedroom flat offers low-maintenance, modern living with easy access to Maidstone town centre. The bright living room and double bedroom overlook landscaped communal gardens, while a contemporary kitchen and secure entry provide everyday convenience.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a long lease (c.980 years), allocated off-street parking and communal grounds reduce ongoing upkeep. Service charge and small ground rent apply; both are typical for gated developments and contribute to security and garden maintenance.
Important considerations are factual: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and the local reported crime level is high. Buyers should factor in flood insurance and any necessary resilience measures. The flat is leasehold, with an average service charge and modest ground rent.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a compact, turn-key home and investors wanting a low-management rental close to shops, entertainment and transport. It presents sensible potential for steady rental income or comfortable city living with picturesque riverside walks on the doorstep.
