No forward chain. The property is situated on the popular Allington residential development, which lies about 2-miles from Maidtone town centre. The immediate area is very well served with an excellent out of town shopping centre with a Waitrose supermarket. There are local bus services availa...
Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom bungalow in Allington, Maidstone, presents a mixed bag. Its location is a definite advantage, being close to amenities including Waitrose and good transport links to Maidstone and beyond. Several good Ofsted-rated primary schools are also within a reasonable distance, making it attractive for families. The property itself, however, requires significant modernisation. The photos reveal dated decor, a kitchen and bathroom in need of updating, and a garden that needs considerable landscaping. The lack of precise square footage data for the property and surrounding plots makes it difficult to give a completely accurate property evaluation. While the listed price of £425,000 seems competitive with similar properties in the area, the required refurbishment works should be factored into any purchase decision. Potential buyers should be prepared for a significant investment in renovations before the property can be considered a modern, comfortable home. The garden, while present, offers a good amount of space but requires attention. Overall, it’s a property with locational potential, but buyers must weigh the cost of modernisation against the asking price and the desirability of the area.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
