This two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers central Maidstone convenience with a compact, practical layout and no onward chain. Ground-floor living, a separate dining room and a useful cellar provide flexible space for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The small, low-maintenance rear garden is easy to manage and the property sits within walking distance of Maidstone West station and town-centre amenities.
Internally the house is tidy but dated; rooms are average in size and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value. The building is solid-brick Victorian stock with double glazing and mains gas heating, but walls likely lack cavity insulation, so consider energy-improvement costs. EPC rating D indicates scope for efficiency upgrades.
Practical points: the property is freehold, council tax band B and offered chain-free, making a swift sale possible. Parking is on-street by permit only and the plot is small, typical of inner-urban terraces. Note the local area records higher crime levels and greater deprivation, which may influence resale or rental desirability.
This home suits someone seeking an affordable city-centre base to personalise, or an investor targeting steady rental demand close to transport links. With targeted modernisation and efficiency works, the property offers clear scope to add value.
