The listing price of £400,000 needs to be considered in the context of the local market. While nearby properties on Alkham Road have sold for similar prices, the lack of square footage information for those comparisons makes direct price-per-square-foot comparisons inaccurate. Further analysis on the size of the subject property compared to similar properties and their prices is needed for a robust evaluation.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior shows a recently updated or well-maintained kitchen and bathroom. While some rooms showcase a more dated aesthetic, the overall impression suggests that the house is habitable and doesn’t require immediate or extensive repairs. However, a full structural survey would provide a definitive assessment.

The property benefits from its proximity to good schools like Valley Park School (Good Ofsted) and Invicta Grammar School (Outstanding Ofsted), which are within a kilometer. The relatively close distance to Maidstone East train station also enhances its convenience. While not in the immediate town centre, the location offers a balance of suburban tranquility and accessibility to amenities and transport.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive feature. However, the provided images suggest a relatively small garden size compared to other properties. Therefore a mid-range score reflects this reality.
