This modern second-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home in central Maidstone, built in 2020 and finished with an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area and integrated appliances. Natural light fills both bedrooms through large windows, and the development includes allocated off-street parking plus visitor spaces — a practical perk for town-centre living.
The property is offered as a 40% shared ownership opportunity with the option to purchase 100% through Golding Homes (eligibility and terms apply). Monthly costs at the 40% share currently include rent of £446.09 and a service charge of about £120.84 (circa £1,450 pa). The lease has approximately 120 years remaining.
Transport links are a strong selling point: Maidstone West, East and Barracks stations are within easy reach, making commutes and London travel straightforward. Local amenities, parks and schools are nearby, supporting everyday life for a first-time buyer.
Notable concerns are practical: the apartment is small at about 506 sq ft, the property is leasehold and shared ownership involves housing-association criteria and possible extra fees (lease packs, staircasing costs). The immediate area records very high crime levels and higher local deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or rental demand. Buyers should check eligibility for shared ownership and confirm all service charge and lease details before committing.
