This property is a two-bedroom flat located on High Street, Elham, a village in the desirable North Downs East area of Kent. The flat is situated on the High Street, offering convenient access to local amenities, although the specific range of shops and services available is not detailed in the provided information. A significant positive is its proximity to Elham Church of England Primary School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. While train stations such as Sandling and Folkestone West are within reach by car, there is no walkable access to public transport.

The interior photos reveal a property that is habitable but in need of modernization. The decor is dated and would benefit significantly from refurbishment to enhance its appeal. The kitchen and bathroom, while functional, display older fixtures and fittings. The lack of a garden or any significant outdoor space is a notable drawback.

The list price of £235,000 for 919 sq ft requires contextualization. Compared to other properties in the area, particularly houses, this is at the lower end of the market. The absence of detailed comparable sales data, specifically average prices per square foot, for similar flats makes it difficult to determine a precisely accurate valuation. However, given the size, condition, and lack of outdoor space, the price seems reasonable, reflecting a compromise between location and the necessary renovations. The lack of plot size and the dated interiors are clear drawbacks in comparison to other listed properties in the area, yet, the location and access to the highly-rated primary school adds value and justifies the asking price as reasonable, compared to the other properties.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
