A compact one-bedroom flat in central Maidstone, offered chain-free and set within a Victorian mid-terrace. The property benefits from its own private rear garden — a rare amenity for flats in this area — and is presented in liveable condition with double glazing and a C-rated EPC. Its size and layout suit a single occupant, couple or investor seeking an affordable entry to the local market.
The accommodation is modest in footprint (approximately 417 sqft) and is described as cosmetically dated in places; photos show a tidy bedroom and a modernised bathroom, but no kitchen or living-room images were provided. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and likely has limited wall insulation, so further upgrading could improve comfort and energy performance.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with around 89 years remaining and an average ground rent of £350. Council tax is low (band A). The area offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal and sits close to Maidstone’s shops, cafes and transport links — useful for first-time buyers and landlords targeting students and professionals.
This property represents an attainable purchase for someone prioritising location and private outdoor space over internal size. It will particularly suit buyers willing to carry out minor cosmetic improvements to increase appeal or rental yield; material issues to note are the limited internal space, the shorter-than-ideal lease term, and a higher-than-average local crime rate.
