Summary - 43 HENGIST COURT MAIDSTONE ME14 1BU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low‑maintenance two-bed retirement flat near Maidstone stations and shops.
Second-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A purpose-built second-floor retirement apartment in the centre of Maidstone, Hengist Court offers convenient, low-maintenance living close to shops, transport and local amenities. The flat has a generous lounge/diner, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a contemporary shower room. Lift access, secure entry and communal facilities (residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and 24-hour emergency call system) support independent retired life.
Practical positives include good broadband and mobile signal, communal parking/drive to the rear plus on-street parking, and useful built-in storage. The apartment’s compact, efficient plan suits a couple or single buyer wanting a town-centre base that needs little exterior upkeep.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining and additional service/management fees or lease pack costs may apply. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, which may mean higher running costs. The local neighbourhood shows high crime levels and relative area deprivation, so viewings should include assessing personal security and local services.
Overall, this is a practical retirement option for someone prioritising central location and communal support facilities. It offers scope for light cosmetic updating to personalise the space, but budget for ongoing service charges and potentially higher energy bills when comparing to conventionally heated homes.
