Contemporary one-bed with parking, near Maidstone East and town centre.
Newly renovated open-plan one-bedroom apartment
Set on the fifth floor of the popular Springfield development, this newly renovated one-bedroom apartment offers contemporary open-plan living close to Maidstone town centre. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a private balcony deliver generous natural light and elevated town views, while integrated kitchen appliances and a modern bathroom provide move-in-ready convenience.
Practical benefits include lift access, secure entry, an allocated off-street parking space and fast broadband — useful for commuters and those working from home. The long lease (995 years) removes common leasehold concerns; the property was constructed in 2020 and has good thermal performance.
Considerations: the home uses electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas central heating. The local area records very high crime levels and sits within a deprived area classification; buyers should factor this into personal safety and insurance decisions. A service charge (noted at £1,000, details unknown) applies to communal maintenance and building management.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance, well-located city-base with excellent transport links — short walk to Maidstone East station and close to shops, restaurants and riverside amenities. Its combination of recent construction, parking and modern finishes gives clear rental and resale appeal, balanced by local-area security and running-cost considerations.
