Summary - 2 ROCHESTER GATE ROCHESTER ME1 1JG
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment with communal garden and parking.
Warden-assisted retirement flat with 24-hour emergency alarm
A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat offered chain free and designed for over-55s living with on-site warden support and a 24-hour emergency alarm. The apartment has immediate practical benefits: residents parking, communal garden and roof terrace, and compact living spaces that suit downsizers or investors seeking a manageable property in town.
The interior is dated and will need renovation — the kitchen shows wear and the overall finish is tired — but this also creates clear scope to personalise, improve energy performance and add value. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property runs on electric fuel (not a communal system). Buyers should note the service charge is above average and the lease has about 82 years remaining; ground rent is a modest £100 per year.
Location-wise the flat sits on High Street with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to shops, public transport and local amenities. The immediate neighbourhood has higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators, which some buyers will consider alongside the convenience and communal support the scheme provides.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance, assisted-living option to occupy straightaway or an investor targeting retirement accommodation in a central town location. Important practical checks — lease details, service charge breakdown and condition of appliances/heating — should be confirmed by your solicitor before purchase.
