The property is a charming cottage located in Platts Heath, a village near Maidstone, Kent. The location benefits from being within a reasonable distance of several primary schools, with Platts Heath Primary School being particularly close. Train stations at Lenham and Harrietsham provide access to Southeastern rail services.

The cottage itself appears to be a period property, well-maintained and presented. The exposed beams and traditional features are evident throughout. The property has undergone some modernisation, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear to be in excellent condition. The garden is a notable feature, offering a good-sized outdoor space with various features, including a shed and patio area. The size of the garden is approximately the same as the size of the house.

Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £356, and this property is listed at £475,000 with 1,575 sqft, the price per sqft is approximately £301. While the property is smaller than the average for the area, its period features, excellent condition, and substantial garden could justify the slightly lower price per square foot. However, nearby comparable properties show a wide range of prices, making a definitive statement on price reasonableness difficult without further insights into the specific features and condition of those properties. The higher-priced nearby properties may have larger plots or more modern interiors.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in good condition and well-maintained. There is no evidence to suggest it needs renovation. The property has character and charm consistent with a period property.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
