Period conversion project with significant parking and strong transport links.
Approved change of use to 13-bedroom HMO (ref 24/504962/FULL).
This substantial detached former hotel on well-regarded St Michael's Road presents a clear income-led opportunity close to Maidstone town centre. The Edwardian/Victorian red-brick building retains high ceilings and period features across multiple floors, set on a very large plot with generous front and rear parking for up to 18 cars.
Planning permission has been approved to convert the property from Hotel (Class C1) to a 13-bedroom HMO (reference 24/504962/FULL), including basement window insertions, bicycle store, bin storage and 16 onsite parking spaces. The building currently has 12 ensuite bedrooms, ground-floor stores, an additional toilet and basement storage — a strong starting point for HMO conversion or alternative multi-occupancy use.
Buyers should allow for conversion works and compliance with HMO licensing, building regulations and any upgrading required to meet current standards. The building dates from the early 20th century and, while double glazed and with a mains-gas boiler, will need sympathetic refurbishment in places to maximise rental performance. EPC rating C.
Location is a practical asset: easy access to Maidstone West station, frequent bus routes on Tonbridge Road and fast road links via the M20. The property is offered freehold and will suit investors or developers targeting higher-yielding HMO accommodation or a multi-let refurbishment project.
