This mid-terrace Victorian property offers a compact, practical home in central Maidstone — ideal for first-time buyers or investors after a well-located town property. The layout includes separate lounge and dining rooms, a cellar for storage, and a modest rear garden arranged with decking and artificial lawn. Two good-sized bedrooms sit upstairs, plus a small third room accessed through the second bedroom useful as a home office, nursery, or dressing area.
The house benefits from mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), and a freehold title. At about 933 sq ft, the accommodation is larger than many terraces of this type, and the short walk to the town centre and mainline stations is a major convenience for commuters and city amenities.
Notable issues are presented plainly: the property sits in a high-crime area and the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may impact energy efficiency and running costs. The frontage and rear garden are small, and the internal finish appears ready for modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Photographs and the frontage also suggest paired entrances, which may indicate previous or potential sub-division — investigate planning/history if considering investment conversion.
Overall, this home offers strong location-driven value with good scope to add value through targeted updating and insulation improvements. It suits buyers wanting central access and a sound period shell, or investors seeking rental demand close to transport and town amenities.
