Large private terrace, parking and easy rail links to London.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment ready to occupy
This chain-free, one-bedroom apartment offers a roomy open-plan living space and an exceptionally large private terrace with distant views across the Medway and historic Rochester landmarks. The generous layout, modern kitchen and bathroom make it move-in ready for a first home or a buy-to-let purchase seeking strong rental appeal.
Practical points: the flat has allocated off-street parking, step-free access to the first floor, fast broadband and an EPC rating of C. The lease has 103 years remaining; service charge is £2,635 pa (covered for 2026) and ground rent is £311 pa. Heating is by electric room heaters, and the property sits within a multi-storey modern block built c.2003–2006.
Be candid about the area: local deprivation indicators and a very high recorded crime level mean buyers should research neighbourhood safety and suitability. The apartment’s electric heating and system-built construction are cost and maintenance considerations compared with gas-heated homes. For buyers prioritising low fuss and central transport, the nearby Chatham station and local amenities are strong positives.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer looking for a ready-to-live-in city-base with a standout private terrace, or an investor after a centrally located, low-management flat. Inspect to check heating performance and to assess local amenity and security needs before committing.
