Description

This freehold office building presents a compelling investment opportunity, particularly for those looking to capitalize on its potential for conversion to residential units. Situated on the outskirts of Maidstone's town centre, the property enjoys convenient access to major road networks and is within walking distance of local amenities. The property has lapsed planning permission for transforming the existing office space into two residential units, allowing for a more lucrative use while also appealing to the growing housing demand in the area. The former Victorian cottage features characteristic details such as sliding sash windows and a charming fireplace, providing a solid foundation for renovation. The total area encompasses approximately 2,804 sq ft across multiple levels, including the ground floor, first floor, and basement. While the property currently requires updating, it stands as an excellent candidate for refurbishment with options to enhance its historical elements whilst modernizing its functionality. Additionally, ample parking is available at the rear, adding further value to this investment opportunity.
