Summary - 74 Maison Dieu Road, Dover, Kent CT16 1RU
3 bed 1 bath Ground Maisonette
Large private rear garden and quick rail links to London.
Chain-free ground-floor maisonette with 989-year lease
Set within a Victorian building, this ground-floor maisonette offers three bedrooms and direct access to a large private rear garden. The long lease (989 years) and chain-free sale suit a buyer wanting a quick move or an investor seeking rental potential. The property’s compact footprint (631 sq ft) and traditional layout are straightforward and manageable.
The flat needs updating: heating is by electric room heaters, walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and there are signs the building may require damp/mould checks and external repairs (scaffolding noted). These issues present an opportunity to add value through refurbishment but will require budget and contractor oversight.
Location is a major plus for commuters and convenience: Dover Priory offers high-speed rail to London, frequent buses run along Maison Dieu Road, and shops, schools and services are within easy reach — meaning a car is optional. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and council tax is very low, though the wider area records high deprivation and very high crime levels; buyers should factor local context into their plans.
Practical costs are modest: a below-average service charge (£300) and a long lease reduce immediate ownership friction. The large, overgrown garden is a blank canvas for anyone wanting outdoor space, but it will need clearance and landscaping. All measurements, tenure and service details should be independently verified by a solicitor or surveyor.
