Affordable starter purchase near shops, transport links and communal facilities.
528 sq ft two-bedroom apartment, compact town-centre footprint
This compact two-bedroom apartment on Lower Stone Street offers an affordable entry into Maidstone town-centre living. Set within the contemporary Miller Heights building, the flat benefits from lift access, communal concierge, CCTV and good natural light across an open-plan lounge/kitchen.
At about 528 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-cost ownership close to shops, restaurants and stations. The modern kitchen/diner and recently installed double glazing make the accommodation ready to occupy with minimal immediate work required.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the property is leasehold (115 years remaining) with a ground rent of £250 and communal service arrangements, electric room heaters rather than central gas heating, and cavity walls likely without added insulation. The immediate area has higher crime and wider deprivation indicators; purchasers should factor this into insurance and management plans.
Overall, this is a budget-conscious town-centre option that offers convenience and rental potential, balanced against extra running costs and location-related considerations. Viewing is recommended to assess space and communal facilities in person.
