Description

Offered to the market with the benefit of NO FORWARD CHAIN and in a quiet cul-de-sac within the village of West Kingsdown nr Sevenoaks, is this two bedroom end-of-terrace.

Modernised and transformed by the existing homeowner, the home is a fantastic opportunity for first time buyers, downsizers or investors, offering a turn-key finish and the ability for someone to move in, with absolutely no work required!

The property comes with the rare benefit of off-street parking in the form of a garage to the rear (with access also, via the garden) and a block-paved driveway, to the front. There is further, unrestricted resident parking, on-street.

Downstairs, there is an entrance porch for convenience, which opens to a well appointed living room.

To the rear, there is a fitted kitchen which includes an integrated fridge-freezer.

A uPVC door leads to a well-maintained, South-facing rear garden. Largely laid to lawn, this also includes a patio/seating area, a stepping stone pathway to the garage, and a rear gate that leads to the garage & parking area. It should be noted that the front door to the garage is currently boarded, internally, but could easily be reinstated.

Back inside and upstairs, there is a spacious main/double bedroom, which includes a fitted storage around the bed and built-in storage above the stairs. The second bedroom is a small single, which could make the perfect nursery, child’s bedroom, or perhaps even home office or dressing room.

Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing throughout and a loft space for storage.

The Briars is located off the main London Road / A20. This makes the village amenities and parade of shops along Hever Road accessible with ease. The village offers excellent motorway connections to the M20, M25, M26 and A20, making Swanley and Bluewater Shopping Centre both less than 20 minutes away by car, and London Gatwick Airport accessible in less than 45 minutes.

Brands Hatch race circuit is nearby for the racing enthusiasts, free entry to which is available for residents of the village. Alternatively, London Golf Club is a popular choice for the golfers. Pilgrims Way and the North Downs, again nearby offer some beautiful countryside walks.

For those with young children, there are good nurseries and the village primary school is again within close proximity.

For train links, Swanley or Borough Green and Wrotham are nearby, which offer frequent, direct services to London Bridge, London Charing Cross and Victoria.

  • 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.
