This third-floor, two-bedroom apartment in central Rochester blends modern specification with commuter convenience. Built in 2021, the home offers an open-plan lounge/kitchen, private balcony with river glimpses, and an en-suite main bedroom — well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance, contemporary accommodation.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (244 years) and an EPC B rating support long-term ownership, while council tax is affordable. The development includes landscaped communal grounds and off-street parking by permit; broadband and mobile signal are strong, and Rochester station and the high street are short walks away.
Be mindful of local context: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale and letting priorities. Service charges average £2,064 per year (£172pcm) and the property is leasehold; these are important ownership costs to factor into your budget.
Overall this apartment offers modern living in a historic city setting with excellent transport links. It’s a practical choice for a buyer wanting a turn-key home or an investor prioritising location and low immediate maintenance, provided you assess local demand and safety considerations.
