A bright first-floor two-double-bedroom apartment set in a modern brick development close to Maidstone town centre. The lounge-diner and bedrooms receive good natural light and the flat includes useful built-in storage plus an allocated off-street parking space and visitor bays. The kitchen has fitted units and integrated appliances; the layout is practical for a first home or a buy-to-let unit.
Important lease and location facts must be clear: the property is leasehold with 78 years remaining. That limited term is likely to restrict mortgage options and may deter some buyers without a cash purchase or a specialist lender. Service charge is £176pcm and council tax is described as affordable.
The location is a strong convenience asset — walking distance to the town centre and mainline station with direct London links, and easy access to the M20/M2. However, the immediate area scores high for crime and shows indicators of local deprivation; this will matter for families and some investor profiles. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
Overall, this apartment suits a cash buyer, a buyer prepared to arrange lease extension work, or an investor targeting rental yield in a well-connected town-centre location. Be aware of the lease length and local area issues when assessing affordability and mortgageability.
