This two-bedroom maisonette located on Foord Road in Lenham, Kent, presents a mixed bag of potential. The property’s location is a strong point. Lenham is a charming village offering a blend of countryside living with convenient access to the Southeastern train line at Lenham station, connecting to Maidstone East and Ashford International, providing easy commutes to larger towns and cities. Good Ofsted-rated primary schools in close proximity increase family appeal.
Internally, the property shows its age. While images show a clean, habitable space, the finishes appear dated. The kitchen, in particular, could benefit from an upgrade, and minor cosmetic repairs would improve the property’s overall presentation. The overall condition is passable but doesn’t showcase a sense of modern luxury or high-end finish.
The garden offers a modest amount of outdoor space. It appears in need of some landscaping or garden maintenance, to be a more enjoyable outdoor area. The lack of information on plot size prevents a fully formed opinion.
The price of £180,000 is competitive for the Lenham market, reflecting the property’s condition and size, given the listed price of similar properties in the area. However, without precise square footage comparisons and details about the property’s specifics the price may be slightly higher or lower than market value, depending on the overall condition of the property and size of the garden.
Overall, the property offers a good opportunity for first-time buyers or investors seeking a project. Potential buyers should factor in the cost of necessary improvements and renovations to accurately assess its long-term value. The proximity to amenities and transport, combined with the village setting, makes it an attractive proposition, despite its cosmetic needs.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
