Character-filled two-bed apartment in Maidstone town centre — auction sale, chain free.
Grade II listed second-floor apartment with period sash windows
A deceptively spacious Grade II listed second-floor apartment in the heart of Maidstone, offered chain-free and sold via the Modern Method of Auction. The flat combines period character — sash windows and a symmetrical Georgian façade — with a recently updated kitchen and a large open-plan lounge, making it liveable from day one. Two double bedrooms and a personal loft space add practical storage and scope for reconfiguration.
Important auction terms and fees are a material part of this sale. The property is sold subject to an undisclosed reserve price and a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.512% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600). Buyers must complete within 56 days of contract and pay a £300 pack fee; read the Buyer Information Pack and allow time for mortgage or funding checks before bidding.
Practical considerations include leasehold tenure (around 102 years remaining), a service charge of approximately £1,640pa and ground rent of £150pa. The building’s listed status protects historic features but may restrict alterations and complicate insurance or refurbishment plans. Heating is by electric room heaters and glazing is secondary; the solid brick walls have no added insulation, which could mean higher running costs and potential upgrading work.
This apartment suits a buyer who values central convenience — rail, shops, leisure and amenities are literally on your doorstep — and is comfortable navigating an auction purchase and listed-building constraints. It also appeals to investors seeking town-centre rental demand or first-time buyers able to manage the auction process and future refit works. High local crime levels should be factored into long-term rental or resale assumptions.
