Summary - 55, Douglas Road ME16 8ER
7 bed 7 bath Semi-Detached
Ideal for buy-to-let investors seeking central location and strong rental potential.
Seven bedrooms with five en suites and two family bathrooms
A ready-made seven-bedroom HMO offered with no onward chain, well located within walking distance of Maidstone town centre and the mainline station. The layout includes five en suite bedrooms plus two further bedrooms served by two family bathrooms — a configuration that supports strong rental demand and flexible tenancy mixes.
The property benefits from double glazing and gas-fired central heating, a generous kitchen and a rear conservatory that provides a communal space for residents. Outside is a small, low-maintenance garden; the building is freehold and extends to approximately 1,422 sq ft across multiple storeys.
Buyers should note the HMO licence has expired and will need renewal before letting; there may be scope to reconfigure to maximise returns. The building dates from the early 1900s with solid brick walls (no recorded insulation) and may require targeted maintenance or upgrades to meet licensing and energy standards.
Practical considerations: council tax Band D, the immediate area records above-average crime, and the plot is modest. This is primarily an investor-focused opportunity for a purchaser comfortable managing an HMO licence process and carrying out any necessary refurbishments to optimise income.
