Summary - King Street, Kings Lodge, ME14 ME14 1BG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ready-to-move-in two-bed apartment in a sociable, purpose-built retirement development.
Third-floor, lift-served apartment with south-facing rooms
Set on the third floor of Kings Lodge, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment has been freshly redecorated and is ready to move into. Purpose-built for residents aged 60+, the flat benefits from lift access, secure gated parking and south-facing rooms that pick up good daylight. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite, landscaped gardens and an on-site property manager Monday–Friday.
The apartment is equipped with emergency pull cords and links to on-site assistance, offering practical peace of mind for someone seeking a sociable, supported retirement setting. The layout is traditional and comfortable: a bright living room and two double bedrooms, one of which could be used as a dining area or hobby room. The development is a short, level walk from Maidstone town centre and the main bus station, making local shops and transport easily accessible.
Important factual points to note: the property is leasehold with 117 years remaining and heated via a community scheme rather than an individual boiler. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime levels are very high compared with national averages. The wider neighbourhood shows indicators of deprivation despite good nearby schooling and plentiful town-centre amenities.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking low-maintenance, communal living with built-in support and social opportunities, or an investor looking for retirement-market demand. Viewings are recommended to assess the communal facilities and location in person, and to confirm how the community heating and local services fit individual needs.
