This ground-floor, one-bedroom shared ownership apartment offers an affordable route into Maidstone town centre living. The open-plan kitchen and living room is bright and practical, fitted with essential appliances and a full-height fridge freezer — ready to move into for first-time buyers or commuting professionals. The generous bedroom includes a fitted wardrobe and large double-glazed window, and the bathroom has a full-length bath with shower over.
Practical running costs are clear: electric heating with an air-source heat pump, double glazing, and a Band C EPC help with efficiency. The property comes as a 50% share priced at £75,000, with a monthly rent of £166.18 and an annual service charge of £1,569. The lease has 109 years remaining and there is no ground rent.
Location is a major convenience: a short walk to Maidstone High Street, Maidstone East station, and Fremlin Walk shopping. That said, buyers should weigh local context — the wider area scores high for crime and is classified as deprived — against the property's affordability and transport links. Shared-ownership buyers can stair‑lift to a larger share later, offering future flexibility.
