Description
So, what's on offer? This property has a light and airy feel with its good-sized rooms, high ceilings and large windows. It has recently been redecorated and the new carpeting gives it that fresh feel. The main hallway gives access to the lounge, dining room, kitchen and stairs to the upper floor. The lounge is a perfect size with large bay window to the front and laminate flooring. Having a separate dining room is ideal for the family and it has a large window overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen has a range of modern wall and base units with worktop space and built in oven and hob. There is also space for a washing machine. A door to the side affords access to the rear garden. The bathroom is accessed through the kitchen and has a walk-in shower, as well as a WC and wash basin.
Whats upstairs? Well, bedroom one is at the front of the house and is a large double, by todays standards. Bedroom two is also a good-sized double and overlooks the rear garden. Bedroom three is a good-sized single room. All are newly carpeted giving them that fresh and luxurious feel.
Did I mention the cellar? Well, there is a cellar with window and ventilation to the front of the property. This could be converted into a useful living space or storage, provided the relevant permissions are granted.
How big is the garden? There is a front garden which is paved with gravel and is a blank canvas for your gardening skills! The rear garden is perfect for entertaining with a grass and a decking area. A pathway leads to the large garden shed for storing garden tools and all sorts of other items. There is a wooden gate affording access from the rear of the garden.
This house is just a minute away from the beautiful river Medway with it-s wildlife including kingfishers, cormorants and the lovely scenery. Take a stroll beside the water into Maidstone or up-river to East Farleigh and beyond. There is a convenient footbridge taking you to Upper Fant and on to Maidstone town centre.
This well-presented property has been redecorated inside, with matching carpets upstairs, and laminate flooring downstairs, so would make an ideal home to just move straight into.

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).
