1 bed 1 bath Flat
Contemporary one-bed near station ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Modern fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment with private balcony
Set on the fifth floor of the modern Springfield development, this one-bedroom apartment offers contemporary open-plan living with a private balcony and lift access. The layout and large windows deliver good natural light and elevated town views, while integrated kitchen appliances and a neatly finished bathroom make the flat move-in ready. With fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the home suits professionals, first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking central convenience.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, secure entry, and long leasehold security (995 years). The building is recently constructed (2020) and appears well insulated, which should help running costs compared with older stock. Travel is straightforward: Maidstone East station and town centre amenities are within easy walking distance, and motorway links are close by.
Buyers should note material considerations honestly: heating relies on electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which can be more expensive to run. The property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and higher-than-average deprivation indices; prospective purchasers should factor local safety and resale/rental demand into their plans. A service charge of £1,000 is listed but the billing period and what it covers are not specified — obtain full service charge and ground rent details before committing.
Overall, this apartment offers a low-hassle, modern central base with long leasehold security and good transport links. It represents practical value for someone prioritising town-centre living and quick access to rail and road, provided they accept the local area issues and the electric heating setup.
