Summary - 8, THE QUARRIES, MAIDSTONE, BOUGHTON MONCHELSEA ME17 4NH
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large plot in conservation area — full renovation or replacement opportunity.
Detached timber-framed cottage with exposed beams and period character
A rare period cottage in The Quarries conservation area, Beresford Cottage offers a large, flexible footprint (approx. 1,405 sq ft) and gardens to front, side and rear. The timber-framed, exposed-beam character is intact, with three reception rooms and three bedrooms creating scope to restore period features or completely replace the dwelling subject to planning consent.
This property requires comprehensive renovation and is being sold with no onward chain, making it suitable for an experienced developer, ambitious renovator or investor. There is an existing statutory Order from Maidstone Borough Council requiring works to enable human habitation (for example, repair or replacement of the gas-fired central heating boiler) — this must be addressed by the buyer.
Practical issues include single-glazed windows, dated services, evidence of damp in parts and slow broadband; the site also sits in a medium flood-risk zone. Conversely, the plot is generous and peaceful on the village edge, in a very affluent, low-crime area with good local schools and countryside surroundings — strong potential to create a high-value, character home once resolved.
