This detached two-bedroom bungalow on Maidstone Road is a compact, single-storey home suited to retired buyers seeking countryside calm with commuter convenience. The plot includes a large driveway for multiple cars and a private rear garden that backs onto an equestrian field, so the outside space is quiet and not overlooked.
The property needs updating throughout and offers clear scope for refurbishment to personalise the layout and finishes. At about 608 sq ft the internal space is modest, with one shower room and two bedrooms; buyers should expect limited room sizes and simpler storage provision.
For eligible purchasers aged 60+, Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease could reduce the purchase price significantly — a guide Lifetime Lease price is £214,500 (market value £325,000) depending on age and circumstances. The home is freehold and suitable as a retirement residence, but anyone considering purchase should verify all tenure, fixtures and services.
Practical points to note: transport links are good for commuters, broadband speeds are fast, and council tax is described as affordable. However, the area records above-average crime and the house will require renovation work, which should be factored into budgets and timelines.
