A modern five-bedroom mid-terrace built in 2019, this freehold townhouse offers contemporary open-plan living across three storeys. The home benefits from a good EPC (B), gas central heating and off-street parking — practical features for families and commuters. Bright reception rooms and patio doors open onto a low-maintenance, small rear garden suitable for children or easy upkeep. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Positioned close to Dartford station and local amenities, the property is well placed for daily commuting and family life. Several local primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding are within reach. There are no managed communal areas and the property is chain free, which can simplify completion for a busy buyer.
Be clear about the compromises: the plot and overall footprint are small for a five-bedroom house, so some rooms are compact. The neighbourhood sits within a very deprived, multi-ethnic hardship classification and local crime statistics are above average — buyers should assess local safety and security measures. The loft is insulated but not boarded and has no fixed ladder, and the council tax band is above average.
This home suits a family or commuter seeking modern, low-maintenance living with good transport links and schools nearby, but who accept limited outside space and want to consider local area challenges when viewing. The property presents straightforward living now with potential to adapt internal layouts to better suit space needs.
