West Malling is a popular commuter town located in Kent, with good access to London via the M20 motorway and nearby train stations. The property is in a quiet residential area, and is within walking distance of local amenities such as shops, schools, and parks. The proximity to several well-regarded primary schools, including More Park Catholic Primary School and St James The Great Academy, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, is a significant positive for families. Train stations such as West Malling are within reasonable distance providing convenient access to London and other major towns. This contributes to a high location score.

The property appears to be well-maintained and in good condition. The images show a recently updated kitchen and bathroom, with modern fixtures and fittings. There is evidence of some cosmetic updates throughout the property, suggesting that it is move-in ready and does not require significant renovation. The flooring and decor look modern and well-kept. The overall impression is one of a clean, comfortable family home.

The property benefits from a good-sized garden, which is well-maintained and enclosed. The garden includes a patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. The size of the plot, at 1,256 sqft, is slightly larger than the average for the area, adding to its appeal.

The list price of £500,000 seems relatively high compared to the average price of £269,779 for the area. However, considering the property’s size (1,140 sqft), location, condition, and the inclusion of a garden, the price may be justified. Nearby comparable properties on Bridgewater Place have sold for prices ranging from £300,000 to £605,000. The average price per sqft in the area is £246, while this property’s implied price per sqft is approximately £438. This higher price per sqft reflects the property’s superior condition and desirable features. While on the higher end of the market, the price is not unreasonable given the overall package.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
