- High ceilings and original Edwardian period features throughout

A commanding Edwardian detached on Maidstone Road, currently configured as a ten-bedroom HMO with substantial scope for alternative uses. The layout spans three floors, with two kitchens, a cellar, multiple bath/shower rooms and generous reception space—suitable for continued HMO operation or conversion back into a large family residence.
The house retains original period features, high ceilings and bay windows, and sits on a large plot with a substantial rear garden and off-street parking for several cars. Transport links are a clear strength: the A2/M2/M20 are close and mainline stations to London are within a short drive, supporting commuter demand.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of E, mixed heating sources (boiler/radiators plus room heaters and electric), and solid brick walls likely without added insulation. The home appears to need refurbishment and modernisation in parts; its scale presents both value and increased running/repair costs. The local area has higher-than-average crime levels, which buyers should factor into risk and tenancy decisions.
This freehold offers strong investment appeal for landlords or developers comfortable with a period renovation and HMO management, and genuine potential for a spacious family home for those prepared to modernise. Early inspection is recommended for buyers wanting to assess condition and conversion possibilities in person.
