Chain-free with 166 years remaining on the lease
This compact two-bedroom flat on Canning Street offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Maidstone’s market. The property’s long 166-year lease and EPC C rating give practical reassurance for buyers and investors alike. A private off-street parking space is an uncommon plus in this central location.
The apartment features an open-plan kitchen and living area with modern finishes and double glazing. Accommodation comprises a double bedroom, a smaller second bedroom suitable for a home office or single, and a contemporary bathroom. At 388 sq ft the overall size is small and best suited to first-time buyers, singles or couples, or as a buy-to-let.
Running costs and practicalities are mixed: heating is via electric storage heaters, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the area records higher local crime levels — factors to weigh when considering occupation or tenancy.

With nearby schools, shops and town-centre amenities, the flat is well placed for everyday convenience and rental demand. The layout and condition present straightforward potential for minor cosmetic updates to improve comfort or rental yield.
