This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits close to the river and a short walk from Maidstone town centre and both train stations, making it ideal for commuters and first-time buyers seeking convenience. The open-plan living space and two double bedrooms (one en-suite) provide comfortable accommodation across ~832 sq ft, with an allocated off-street parking space included.
The home benefits from a long lease (167 years remaining from the 2003 term), double glazing and low flood risk. Service charges cover building insurance and water; annual service charge is £1,789.44 and ground rent is £175 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold, uses electric heating (no communal gas), and sits in an area with higher crime statistics, so buyers should factor security and running costs into their plans. The flat is part of a modern, low-maintenance block built 2003–2006, offering simple communal upkeep and parking.
For buyers prioritising location and straightforward, move-in-ready living, this apartment offers strong commuter links, nearby shops and good local schools. Investors may appreciate the long lease and town-centre location, though assess yields against service charges and electric heating costs.
