Description

Available with no chain, this Victorian home in Maidstone town centre has a lovely homely feel. The open plan lounge diner is light and bright and makes a great space for relaxing or sharing time with family and friends. The kitchen leads through to the bathroom on the ground floor and everything is laid out in a way that feels practical and easy to live with.
Upstairs you’ll find two separate bedrooms, both of which feel spacious and comfortable. The house is vacant and ready to move straight into, so whether you’re looking for your first home, somewhere to downsize, or a property to rent out right away. There’s also room to make some improvements over time if you enjoy adding your own touch.
The private feeling rear garden is a really nice bonus, giving you a excellent outdoor space to enjoy in the warmer months or turn into something special if you like gardening.
The location is another big plus. It’s on a quiet side street with barely any traffic, yet close enough to walk into town and reach Maidstone East Station in just a few minutes. Shops, schools, supermarkets and great road links are all nearby,  making this a really great find at an affordable price.
