Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Boughton Lane, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 9QP. It\’s a detached house with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, spanning 1,470 sqft on a 1,538 sqft plot. The list price is £525,000.
The average house price in the area is £269,233, with an average price per sqft of £324. This property is significantly larger than average at 1470 sqft. The property is listed at a price higher than the average for the area. However, given the size and type of property (detached), the price may be reasonable, depending on the condition and location.
The property appears to be in a reasonable location, with several schools nearby. New Line Learning Academy, Tiger Primary School, and Five Acre Wood School are all within a short distance, offering various Ofsted ratings. Several Southeastern train stations are also within a reasonable commute.
Based on the images provided, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation. The interior shows dated decor and finishes. While structurally sound, significant cosmetic updates would likely be required to bring it up to modern standards. The garden is of a reasonable size, providing outdoor space.
Considering the property\’s size, location, and condition, the asking price of £525,000 is at the higher end of the market for the area. However, the proximity to good schools and transport links could justify the price for a buyer willing to undertake renovations. The need for modernisation should be factored into any offer.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
