This fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment in central Maidstone offers contemporary, compact city living with a private balcony and allocated parking. At around 493 sq ft the open-plan lounge/kitchen and generous bedroom give straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation suitable for a first home or rental let. The kitchen and bathroom are described as high specification, and landscaped communal areas add a pleasant, modern setting.
Practical benefits include very long leasehold tenure (997 years), easy walking access to Maidstone East station, close proximity to shops and amenities, and quick motorway links — useful for commuters. Secure allocated off-street parking is a notable perk for town-centre apartments where parking is otherwise limited.
Buyers should note material running and location factors: heating is electric with room heaters (likely higher energy costs than gas), and the development has an average service charge around £1,100 per year. The wider area shows high recorded crime levels and higher deprivation metrics, which may affect resident experience and resale/rental desirability for some buyers.
Overall, this is a modern, ready-to-move-into apartment with strong transport convenience and long lease security. It will suit someone prioritising location, low-internal-maintenance living, or an investor comfortable with the area profile and running-cost implications.
