Location: Detling is a village located close to Maidstone, a larger town with good transportation links and amenities. The property’s proximity to several Southeastern train stations (Bearsted, Maidstone East, Maidstone Barracks, Maidstone West, and Hollingbourne) provides convenient access to commuting routes. Furthermore, the presence of several well-regarded schools within a reasonable distance (e.g., Roseacre Junior School, Thurnham Church of England Infant School, Maidstone, St John’s Church of England Primary School) adds to the desirability of the location for families. The nearby streets, such as Pope’s Wood, suggest a high-value residential area.

Condition: The property appears to be in excellent condition based on the provided images. The interior is modern, recently renovated, and well-maintained. The kitchen and bathrooms are contemporary and high-quality, suggesting recent upgrades. The exterior also presents a well-maintained and modern aesthetic.

Land: The property includes a substantial garden, providing ample outdoor space. The presence of a children’s play area and outdoor entertaining spaces (including a pergola and outdoor kitchen) further enhances the appeal of the land.

Price: The list price of £950,000 is significantly higher than the average house price in the area (£621,053). However, this property is considerably larger (6,545 sqft compared to the average of 1,292 sqft) and boasts high-end finishes and extensive outdoor amenities, including a pool and hot tub. While the average price per sqft in the area is £480, this property’s unique features and substantial size justify a premium price. The nearby listing of a detached property for £1,500,000 also supports the higher price point, although a direct sqft comparison is not possible due to missing data in the nearby listings. Considering the property’s condition, location, and the size of the land, the list price, while high, appears relatively reasonable within the context of its unique features and the local market for larger, high-end properties.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
