Description
NO CHAIN. For those looking for a property to put their own stamp on or are searching for development potential this three bedroom detached bungalow on a substantial plot is a must see.
Inside the bungalow is off an L shaped configuration which would lend itself to a further extension (planning permission permitted) squaring off the back corner making a large kitchen/living space backing on to the large garden. There is also the potential to add several bedrooms and a bathroom in the loft space making this a vast family home.
As is currently with just renovation the property offers two/three bedrooms dependant on personal taste and also offers an open plan kitchen diner with additional room leading to the garden.
Properties in this sought after location just a short stroll from Folkestone West Train Station and many local amenities are historically in high demand so early viewing here comes recommended.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
