Located on Queen Anne Road, this newly renovated one-bedroom apartment sits within Friars Court, a warden-assisted scheme for those aged 60+. The flat benefits from lift access, communal living rooms and a well-kept communal garden, offering easy, sociable independent living a short walk from local shops and bus links.
The interior is compact (approx. 410 sq ft) and has been refreshed to a modern standard — a small contemporary kitchen and a bright lounge make the most of the space. Heating is by electric storage heaters and double glazing is already installed; the property is ready to occupy without major immediate works.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold, so buyers should check the lease length and any service charges or ground rent. The neighbourhood scores as deprived with a very high local crime rate, which will matter for some purchasers despite the warden service and communal support. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent.
This home suits a downsizer or retiree seeking low-maintenance, secure accommodation with on-site support and close amenities. It also offers pick-up-and-go living for anyone wanting a small, recently updated one-bedroom in central Maidstone, but buyers should factor in the leasehold status and local area safety when deciding to view.
