Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom semi-detached bungalow located in Maidstone, Kent. It is situated on Shaftesbury Drive, in the Bridge locality, and has a plot size of 694 sqft. The list price is £380,000.
The property appears to be in excellent condition. Recent renovations are evident throughout, including a modern kitchen and extension. The images show a well-maintained interior and exterior, with a newly paved driveway and a landscaped garden featuring a patio area, shed, and gazebo. There is also evidence of a recently installed conservatory. This suggests a high level of maintenance and upkeep.
The property benefits from being close to several well-regarded schools, all with a “Good” Ofsted rating, making it an attractive option for families. The proximity to several Southeastern train stations also enhances its appeal, providing convenient access to commuting routes. The garden, while not expansive, provides a private outdoor space.
Considering the average price per sqft in the area is £391, and this property is listed at £380,000 for 694 sqft, the price seems slightly high compared to the average. However, the property’s excellent condition, recent renovations, and desirable location may justify the higher price per sqft. The nearby comparable properties, while varying in price, do not provide sufficient data to conclusively determine if the list price is overvalued. More information on the sqft of the comparable properties would be beneficial to make a more informed assessment.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
