This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Tonbridge Road offers spacious living over three levels and a large, private rear garden. At about 954 sq ft, the house blends period character—sash windows, bay and chimney pots—with practical modern updates such as double glazing and a gas central heating system. Its location close to Maidstone West station and local amenities suits commuters and families who value convenience.
Internally the layout works well for family life or rental use: two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, upstairs bathroom, usable attic/loft room and a cellar for storage. The property is presented well in parts but remains a mid-market Victorian house and would benefit from targeted modernisation in places to maximise comfort and value. The solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be a worthwhile investment.
Notable positives include the long rear garden—unusual for a terrace of this type—and good broadband and mobile coverage for home working. Practical details: freehold tenure, low council tax (Band B), EPC rating D and no local flood risk. The house is suitable for owner-occupiers seeking a family home near schools and transport links, or investors seeking a lettable property with scope to enhance value.
Buyers should note the property faces a main road, which may bring some traffic noise to the front rooms, and the cellar and older fabric may require routine maintenance. Overall, this is a well-sized Victorian terrace with strong location advantages and clear potential from modest updating.
