Affordable first-time purchase or buy-to-let with garden and parking close to shops.
Chain free with vacant possession
A chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor flat in sought-after Penenden Heath, offered with an extended 99-year lease and an allocated parking space. The apartment includes a good-sized bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a spacious lounge, kitchen, bathroom and a small enclosed rear garden — a rare combination for this building type.
The flat is sold with vacant possession and priced to reflect the need for internal modernisation. Key running notes: electric storage heating, secondary glazing, cavity walls likely without added insulation, and an EPC rating of D. Service charge and ground rent are payable, so running costs should be factored into any purchase decision.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry to Maidstone with immediate rental potential or scope to add value through straightforward updating. Close local amenities, fast broadband and very good mobile signal support modern living; good local schools and quick M20 access broaden appeal.
Buyers should note the material considerations: the flat requires renovation, has electric storage heating which can be costly, and an annual service charge of £2,266.74. The lease length (99 years on completion) is attractive for a leasehold but the flat form and communal building aspects will affect long-term resale compared with a house.
