Summary - 5 FLORIN DRIVE ROCHESTER ME1 1TP
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two-bedroom retirement apartment with parking and riverside views.
Top-floor apartment with panoramic River Medway views
This two-bedroom top-floor apartment on Florin Drive offers sweeping panoramic views over the River Medway and two private balconies — ideal for quieter retirement living close to Rochester’s historic High Street and the high-speed rail link. The apartment is ready to move into, with a practical layout including a 15' lounge, separate kitchen and allocated off-street parking. Broadband speeds are fast and the property has double glazing and gas central heating.
The home is leasehold with around 100 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £2,160pa and a small ground rent of £50pa. It is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £149,000 for buyers aged 60+, compared with the full market price of £225,000; actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age, circumstances and the percentage share purchased (up to 50%). Buyers should confirm numbers with a personalised quote or solicitor.
Practical points to note: this is a fourth-floor apartment so check access arrangements (lift availability) and confirm communal maintenance responsibilities. The local area has above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, though the location offers convenience to schools, amenities and riverside leisure. All measurements and tenure details should be independently verified prior to purchase.
