Situated on the second (top) floor, this two-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Maidstone with generous natural light and a practical layout. The living room benefits from corner windows, while the kitchen and bathroom are serviceable and ready for personal updating. EPC rating C suggests reasonable energy performance, though heating is by electric storage heaters.
Long lease security (c.936 years) and a very low ground rent (£12 per annum) reduce ongoing tenure costs; there are no service charges. Chain-free sale makes this property straightforward for first-time buyers or investors who want a quick purchase or let-ready asset close to transport links and town-centre amenities.
The building is mid-20th century and the exterior and flat roof show signs of age — the block appears dated and will benefit from external maintenance or improvement works. The area records above-average crime, so consider security measures. Overall size is small (approx. 572 sq ft), making the flat best suited to single occupants, couples, or buy-to-let investors targeting compact units.
Nearby schools include several well-regarded primaries and Oakwood Park Grammar School. Local amenities and good transport connections make commuting straightforward, while low council tax helps running costs. This is a sensible purchase for buyers wanting a budget-friendly, long-lease flat with clear potential to add value through interior or external improvements.
