This three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home on Bower Place combines period character with practical family living. The property offers generous internal space (approx. 1,292 sqft), dual reception rooms and a converted basement that provides useful additional storage or flexible space. Its location is a strong asset: walking distance to Maidstone West train station and close to Maidstone town centre amenities and good local primary schools.
The layout is family-friendly, with a downstairs bathroom and an upstairs WC for convenience, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a manageable, small rear garden. Services are modern enough for everyday use—double glazing is fitted, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support homeworking and streaming needs.
There are some material points to note: the property was built 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating costs and insulation improvements should be considered. Interior updating is needed in places (some dated fittings and carpeting); the house will benefit from refurbishment to modern standards. Crime levels in the area are recorded as above average, and the plot is small compared with many family homes.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this house will suit buyers seeking character and space close to transport links who are happy to carry out cosmetic or insulation upgrades. It has clear potential to improve value with targeted refurbishment and energy-efficiency work. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, basement space and central location.
