Description
This two-bedroom Victorian terraced house is on the northern side of Maidstone, within walking distance of Maidstone East station and the town centre. The ground floor has separate sitting and dining rooms, each with a fireplace, and a compact kitchen. The listing notes potential for a side-return extension, subject to the necessary consents.
A double-chamber cellar with exposed beams provides additional lower-ground-floor space. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a large bathroom with a separate shower. The loft is also identified as a possible area for expansion, subject to planning permission.
At the rear, the garden extends to approximately 195 feet and is described as suitable for landscaping, with space that could accommodate a garden room or home office, subject to verification. Permit parking is available on the road.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
A strong-value Victorian project in a handy Maidstone location: the £250,000 asking price works out at about £206/sq ft, around 43% below the local average, making this a notably cheap entry point on the stated comparison. The house appears usable, with character fireplaces, a modern-looking bathroom and a long rear garden; the main visible refresh is the dated kitchen and some interior finishes, with garden landscaping also offering scope. The renovation range is £9,000–£18,000.
There is room to think beyond a cosmetic update: the listing highlights possible side-return and loft expansion, subject to consents, while the furnished cellar adds useful extra space to inspect. The location is within walking distance of Maidstone East and the town centre, and the overall numbers support a strong opportunity, while any future value will depend on the work, permissions and eventual sale.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the older kitchen and dated finishes as a relatively contained improvement project.
- Make more of the 195ft rear garden through landscaping and improved paving or fencing.
- Explore the advertised side-return or loft potential, subject to consents, and inspect the cellar’s suitability for continued use.
