This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment at Kings Lodge offers low-step access, a private patio and an efficient ground-source heating system. The living room opens via French doors to the patio, and the fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances. A Lodge Manager is on site five days a week and a 24-hour Careline system provides monitored safety and security.
Owners benefit from communal landscaped gardens, access to an on-site Guest Suite (plus use of Churchill Living guest suites nationwide) and covered parking with a garage. The 117-year remaining lease gives long-term security, and the apartment’s 506 sq ft footprint is typical for retirement accommodation.
Buyers should note the annual service charge (£3,596.94) and a relatively high ground rent (£815.94 per year). Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow and the wider area records a very high crime level — both important practical considerations. Council Tax is affordable and there is good mobile signal and transport links into Maidstone and beyond.
This property suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement base with on-site support and communal facilities. It’s presented in good order but is best for purchasers who prioritise safety, communal services and convenience over fast internet or a quiet low-crime setting.
