Summary - Cornhill Place, Maidstone, Kent ME15 6GX
2 bed 2 bath Ground Flat
Move-in-ready retirement apartment with balcony and allocated parking.
Lifetime Lease guide price £138,500 (market value £210,000)
This well-presented ground-floor apartment offers comfortable, low-maintenance retirement living close to local shops, schools and riverside walks in Maidstone. Finished in contemporary decor with double glazing and gas central heating, the open-plan kitchen/lounge opens onto a small balcony that brings light into the main living space. Bedroom one includes an en-suite and there is an allocated parking space and communal grounds for residents.
The property is available via a Home for Life Lifetime Lease for purchasers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £138,500 (market value £210,000). The plan lets you buy a share of the property (up to 50%) to reduce upfront cost; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. Leasehold details: 108 years remaining, average service charge c. £2,890 and ground rent c. £300 per year — important ongoing costs to factor in.
Rooms are compact (total c.559 sq ft) and the flat is best suited to buyers seeking a manageable retirement base or downsizers wanting modern, move-in-ready accommodation. The building dates from 2007–2011 so construction and insulation standards are recent. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and mains gas heating with radiators is fitted throughout.
Buyers should note the wider area records higher crime levels than average and the overall property footprint is small. The apartment is leasehold and carries notable annual charges; solicitor verification of lease terms and service charge inclusions is recommended before committing. Despite these considerations, the combination of modern finish, balcony, allocated parking and the Home for Life option offers clear appeal to eligible over-60s.
