Description

This spacious detached family home, showcasing a variety of period features, is being offered for sale via auction in May 2026. It presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and modernization, allowing potential buyers to enhance its value significantly. The property boasts a welcoming entrance hall leading to well-proportioned living areas, including a lounge of 16'6 x 10'2 (5.03m x 3.10m) and a snug at 11'7 x 9'9 (3.53m x 2.97m), perfect for comfortable family living. The dining area measures 14'5 x 9'7 (4.40m x 2.92m) and seamlessly connects to the kitchen which spans 14'2 x 8'9 (4.32m x 2.67m), making it an ideal space for both everyday meals and entertaining guests. A utility area and shower room add functionality, while the cellar offers additional storage or potential for creative use. On the upper level, you'll find four bedrooms including a principal suite that features its own dressing room and en suite shower room, alongside three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom which can be modernized to suit contemporary tastes. The generous rear garden extends approximately 45 metres, providing extensive outdoor space with potential for landscaping or even an extension (subject to permissions). A detached brick outbuilding presents further opportunities as a workshop or studio. While this property is conveniently located near Loose Primary School and local amenities in Maidstone, as well as transport links such as Maidstone West Train Station, it requires some essential repairs: the front door needs replacing due to recent damage, minor brickwork repairs are necessary around the doorway, one pane of glass in a French door needs replacement, and there are small sections of ceiling that require attention. New carpeting throughout would also enhance the home’s appeal. This investment opportunity enables buyers to tailor the property to their standards while benefiting from substantial rental or resale potential in this desirable area.
