A compact, modern one-bedroom apartment offered as a 25% shared-ownership share for £47,500. The second-floor flat sits in the Wrens Cross development, presenting an open-plan living/kitchen, a double bedroom and contemporary bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and a secure entry system are useful practical features in this central location.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable route onto the Maidstone market and good commuter links; Maidstone East and West stations are within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, and nearby schools include well-rated state secondaries such as Invicta and Maidstone Grammar.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the tenure is leasehold (shared ownership) with about 120 years remaining, and an annual service charge of approximately £1,440. Heating is by electric room heaters which can mean higher running costs than gas central heating. The overall floor area is small (about 412 sq ft), so storage and space will be limited.
The surrounding area is classified as deprived with a very high local crime level; purchasers should consider safety and suitability carefully. The apartment has scope for cosmetic updates to personalise the interior, but there are no reported flood risks or obvious structural issues recorded in the provided information.
