Summary - 16, FARADAY ROAD, MAIDSTONE, PENENDEN HEATH ME14 2DB
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large 1930s detached family home on a third-acre SW-facing garden, plenty of parking.
Five bedrooms plus study and utility room
A substantial 1930s detached family home set on roughly a third of an acre in a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac on Penenden Heath. Extended by previous owners, the house offers nearly 2,000 sq ft of living space across two storeys, five bedrooms, a study, utility room and generous reception space — well suited to growing families who value indoor space and large private grounds.
The garden is a major selling point: a huge south-west facing plot with extensive lawns, mature trees and deep herbaceous borders offering excellent sun, privacy and scope for gardening, play or future landscaping. Off-street parking is exceptional, with a large forecourt, driveway for 6+ vehicles and a detached double garage for storage or projects.
Built in the Clarke & Epps tradition, the property has period character including a two-storey curved bay and leaded windows, but much of the interior will benefit from updating. Buyers should expect typical refurbishment and modernisation tasks rather than a move-in-finished house; there is clear scope to reconfigure or extend subject to planning. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and while the home has double glazing and gas central heating, some services and finishes may be dated after long ownership.
This home will appeal most to families seeking long-term potential and outdoor space in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and strong local schools. It also suits buyers wanting a period property to personalise with renovation, landscaping or modest extension work.
