Why Should You Rent Me?
Easily the nicest flat available within a mile of East Malling old town, this gorgeous two bedroom haven forms part of the conversion of the former Rising Sun public house, a cherished and Iconic building believed to have been built in 1800’s and now with 8 years remaining of its NHBC re-build warranty.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is the best phrase in this case - being based in 'proper East Malling' old town. However, to spare boring those that know, a more complete list of the amazing local amenities is listed below this overview.
The building completed its transformation in August 2022, and now features 5 'Share of Freehold' flats (all of which are owner occupied until this flat became available).
'Share of Freehold' means the owners each have a stake in the running of the development, which is really important when compared to typical leasehold alternatives.
Inside the grounds of the development each flat has its own private South facing courtyard garden with one of the former pub’s garden tables, large enough to enjoy barbeques and create your own oasis— beautiful in the summer and low maintenance.
This particular apartment is situated on the first floor, and boasts its own private entrance at the rear of the building. The open plan kitchen lounge dining area benefits from ample sunlight with 3 large rooflight windows in the massive vaulted ceiling.
The hall of the kitchen links to the two even double bedrooms and bathroom, and there is a utility area by the front door for all the services.
The property will be let unfurnished, but both bedrooms have a built-in wardrobe, with additional space for dressing table and chests of drawers should more storage be required, and both are finished with saxony carpets for a soft, luxurious feel.
The kitchen is neatly arranged with all 2022 new integrated appliances (oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer) plus quartz work surfaces and matt gold taps/handles.
The flat isn’t just close to East Malling station, but also benefits from being walking distance from West Malling Station, offering great links to London, the coast and towns such as Maidstone and Bromley and much, much more.
Both stations offer direct routes into London Victoria in 59 minutes, Bromley, Maidstone and it is also just 34 minutes to Ashford International.
The M20 is a five-minute drive (2.8 miles/4.5km) away, providing links to Folkestone, the ports at Dover and the Channel Tunnel. There is also a bus stop directly outside the building, which takes passengers to Maidstone within as little as 20 minutes.
The nearby village of Larkfield and the market town of West Malling are home to a variety of traditional country pubs and restaurants (listed below) and both within easy walking distance.
Despite our best efforts, the pictures really don’t do this flawless apartment justice so please do come and see for yourself. We look forward to hearing from you.
