A freshly refurbished two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a Victorian terrace, set within easy reach of Maidstone town amenities. The flat has been renovated to a high standard with new carpets, double glazing and a generous lounge and dining area that suit visiting family or small gatherings. A private, low-maintenance rear garden and a small front garden extend the living space outside.
This property is offered with an option to buy a Lifetime Lease through Homewise for buyers aged 60+; the advertised Lifetime Lease guide price here is £139,000 (market value £210,000). The Lifetime Lease lets purchasers buy up to a 50% share of the property value and the final price varies by age and circumstances — use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote for an exact figure. There is no service charge and the ground rent is just £100 per year.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold (very long lease remaining — 981 years) and the building’s solid brick construction is assumed to have no cavity insulation. The overall internal size is modest (around 603 sq ft), so while the layout feels spacious for its footprint, buyers seeking large rooms or significant storage should check sizes in person. Suitable as a retirement/downsizing home, also of interest to investors at the full market price.
