Description

Set on a cul-de-sac in Hartley, this detached four-bedroom home has a generous south-westerly facing plot and flexible ground-floor accommodation. The entrance hall leads to a second reception, created from the former garage, alongside a through lounge-diner with a fireplace and windows to the front and rear. A separate fitted kitchen has a door to the garden and is described as functional, with scope for modernisation. A ground-floor shower room completes this level. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a main double with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom. The listing also notes gas central heating, double glazing and loft storage. Outside, there is a lawned front garden and a driveway for two vehicles. The rear garden includes a patio, lawn and a brick-built garage with light and power, described as suitable for utility use or a possible studio or workshop, subject to any necessary checks. Hartley village amenities, two primary schools, the Country Club and Post Office are within walking distance, according to the listing. Longfield provides further shops and a mainline station with services to London Victoria and the Kent Coast. The A2, M25, M2 and M20, Ebbsfleet International and Bluewater are also stated to be within reach. The property is freehold and in Council Tax Band F.

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a light-modernisation project rather than a major refurb: the house looks usable and maintained, with scope to refresh the dated kitchen and decorative finishes at your own pace. The four-bedroom layout, flexible second reception, two serviceable wet rooms and generous south-west-facing garden give it a strong family-home canvas; the brick outbuilding also offers useful utility or workshop potential, subject to any intended conversion being checked.

All-in costs deserve a mention: works of around £9,750 on top of purchase push all-in figures towards £659,750 — roughly 13% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Worth factoring in before you assume strong upside from the works alone.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the older kitchen and dated decorative finishes without taking on a full-house renovation.
  • Make the most of the flexible second reception, which could serve as a playroom, guest space or fifth bedroom.
  • Use the south-west-facing garden, patio and powered brick outbuilding as distinctive family and hobby space.
