This elegant three-floor Victorian conversion offers characterful living in a secure gated setting, arranged across c.1,076 sq ft with a mezzanine level ideal for a home office or snug. The open-plan lounge/kitchen benefits from vaulted ceilings and sash windows, bringing natural light and period charm to day-to-day living. Two bedrooms are arranged for privacy, with the principal bedroom occupying its own floor alongside a modern bathroom.
Practical features include gas central heating, two allocated off-street parking spaces and a very long lease (around 900 years). The development is set around well-maintained communal gardens and sits close to Barming station, local schools and Maidstone Hospital, making it suitable for commuters and families seeking convenience and green communal space.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate some renovations or installation of certain modern fittings. There is an average service charge of around 2,250 and a ground rent of 250 per year. Local recorded crime rates are high in the immediate area and should be factored into any decision.
Overall this is a distinctive, chain-free home for buyers who value period character and a private, secure setting. It will particularly suit purchasers who prefer a ready-to-live-in property with scope for sympathetic updating rather than major structural works.
