Summary - 48 FLAXMAN DRIVE MAIDSTONE ME16 0RU
2 bed 1 bath Chalet
Compact, accessible bungalow with garden, garage and Lifetime Lease option for over‑60s.
Extended modern fitted kitchen with large footprint
A neatly presented two-bedroom chalet bungalow set in a quiet Allington street, well suited to buyers aged 60+ looking to downsize without losing space for guests. The property combines a generous extended kitchen, an open-plan lounge/diner and useful loft room, all arranged over a compact footprint that is easy to maintain.
Practical features include an accessible wet room, off-road parking with car port and single garage, and a decent rear garden for pottering or container planting. The Home for Life Lifetime Lease option from Homewise offers a reduced purchase price for eligible buyers (over 60s), with the guide Lifetime Lease price shown here at £281,000 versus the full market price of £425,000 — actual figures depend on age and individual circumstances.
Buyers should note the property is modest in overall size (approximately 549 sq ft) and has just one bathroom. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has earlier double glazing, so some updating or ongoing maintenance may be needed over time. Energy and heating are mains gas with boiler and radiators; tenure is freehold.
This chalet will suit a purchaser seeking low-maintenance living close to local shops, riverside walks and strong transport links. It offers immediate move-in readiness with scope to personalise, while the Lifetime Lease route provides a way to reduce upfront cost and protect part of the property’s value for the future.
