A compact, characterful Grade II-listed cottage offered chain-free and presented as a ready buy-to-let. With an estimated rental income of £1,300 and a potential yield around 6.24%+, the property is aimed squarely at investors seeking immediate income and long-term tenants.
Accommodation is arranged over four floors including a versatile lower-ground basement room, two spacious double bedrooms with built-in storage, a cosy living room with a rustic fireplace, and a private rear garden. The house benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband and mobile signal — practical comforts for modern tenants.
Be clear about the likely extra costs: the listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance, and the property’s timber-frame construction is assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect energy performance and running costs. The local area records higher-than-average crime levels, which could impact rental demand or insurance costs; however, nearby good schools and local amenities support stable long-term lets.
Overall this is a rare, small-footprint investment in a desirable Maidstone location. It suits landlords able to manage listed-building responsibilities and willing to invest modestly in energy improvements or cosmetic updating to maximise rental value.
