This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment is offered chain-free and presents a low-cost entry into Maidstone homeownership or buy-to-let market. The layout includes a double bedroom, living room, separate kitchen and bathroom, with residents’ parking and an external storage unit for practical day-to-day use.
The flat requires renovation and updating throughout — décor and fittings are dated and the building is a system-built block with assumed no insulation, so budget for energy improvements. The lease has 94 years remaining and the annual service charge is approximately £1,062; these are material facts for mortgageability and long-term costs.
Location is practical: walking distance to local shops, regular bus links, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and there is no flood risk. Note the immediate area scores high for deprivation and has above-average recorded crime; buyers should consider local context and security measures.
For a first-time buyer or investor prepared to modernise, this flat offers clear upside — lower purchase price and the chance to add value through targeted works. The property will be sold via online auction; purchasers should check terms, lease details and factor renovation, service charge and local area considerations into their offer.
