Summary - 49, Friars Court, Queen Anne Road ME14 1ER
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact, secure flat with on-site warden and easy town-centre access.
- One double bedroom, lounge/diner and shower room
This one-bedroom retirement flat in Friars Court offers a compact, chain-free opportunity for over-60s seeking central Maidstone living or a buy-to-let investment. The development has an on-site warden, well-maintained communal gardens and is a short walk from shops and transport links, making daily errands and connections straightforward.
The apartment is small at about 388 sq ft and requires some updating — the fitted kitchen dates from the 1980s and would benefit from modernisation. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold, so buyers should review service charges, ground rent and lease length before committing.
Strengths include secure communal living, a concierge-style support presence and excellent mobile signal, useful for staying connected. Drawbacks are the neighbourhood’s higher crime levels and wider area deprivation indicators, which affect both lifestyle and resale prospects. For investors, the town-centre location and lack of chain ease a quick transaction, but planned updates and energy improvements will be needed to maximise rent or resale value.
