This property is a two-bedroom maisonette located on Kings Road, Kingston Upon Thames. The location is a significant positive, offering access to the town centre, good schools (St Luke’s Cofe Primary School and Educare Small School are nearby and rated as Outstanding and Good respectively), and Kingston train station for convenient commutes into London. The area also benefits from proximity to parks, such as Richmond and Canbury Park.

However, the property itself requires some work. The interior decor is dated, and while structurally sound, it seems to need modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom are particularly dated, and updating these would be a substantial investment. The absence of a garden is a further drawback for potential buyers seeking outdoor space.

The price is a key consideration; £465,000 is competitive in the market, considering the location. However, the need for improvements and the lack of a garden should be taken into account when evaluating value for money. A detailed survey is recommended to assess the extent of any structural or maintenance requirements which could significantly influence the overall cost of acquisition.

Overall, the property offers a good location and potential but requires investment in modernisation and improvement. The absence of outdoor space will reduce the appeal to certain buyers. A thorough property survey is recommended before committing to a purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
