Summary - ACACIA HOUSE, 8 - 10 FLAT 8 ASHFORD ROAD MAIDSTONE ME14 5DG
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bed flat with two parking spaces, close to town and station.
Chain-free top-floor two-bedroom apartment, approximately 797 sq ft
A chain-free top-floor two-bedroom apartment offering generous room sizes and two allocated parking spaces, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking easy access to Maidstone town centre and transport links. The large kitchen/breakfast room and spacious lounge create flexible living space; bedroom one benefits from an en-suite, and the apartment totals about 797 sq ft.
The building dates from c.1930–1949 and retains period character such as high ceilings and sash-style windows. The long lease (972 years) removes a common leasehold concern and the property is sold with two off-street parking spaces — a notable convenience in town centre locations.
Buyers should weigh a few material negatives: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of about £2,880 per year and a ground rent of £112. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation, which may mean higher running costs and potential improvement works. The area shows higher crime and relative deprivation, which will matter to some purchasers and investors.
Overall this apartment suits buyers who prioritise space, parking and proximity to amenities over low running costs. Investors and first-time buyers can add value through energy upgrades; purchasers are advised to confirm lease, service charge details and to budget for potential heating/insulation improvements.
