This Victorian mid-terrace is a practical, chain-free starter or buy-to-let in Dartford, offering a solid structural base and clear renovation scope. Recent major works include new main and flat roofs, a combi boiler under 18 months old, and windows replaced in 2023, reducing immediate large-ticket costs. The property is freehold with gas central heating and double glazing.
Internally the layout provides a living room, separate dining room, ground-floor bathroom and kitchen, plus two double bedrooms upstairs. The 678 sq ft footprint is compact but usable; rooms are standard ceiling height and retain period character. A mature rear garden offers private outdoor space and the front driveway provides off-street parking for one car — a useful benefit in this area.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the house needs renovation throughout to modernise finishes and services, and walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, which may affect upgrading costs and fabric performance. The plot is small and the property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics. EPC currently D. These facts point to a hands-on purchase suitable for buyers prepared to renovate or investors seeking rental income after improvement.
Location is a key strength: walking distance to Darent Valley Hospital and Darenth Valley Country Park, close to Ofsted‑rated schools and Dartford Station with fast London links. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local road access to the A2/M25 is convenient. For buyers seeking a manageable project with immediate transport and amenity access, this presents clear potential.
