Property Oracle says ..
This charming one-bedroom houseboat is situated on the River Medway in Riverside Park, Maidstone. It offers a tranquil waterside living experience, with the added convenience of being less than 0.07km from East Farleigh train station. The property boasts a recently updated interior, which appears well maintained and clean, featuring a modern kitchen and bathroom. The provided photographs show a comfortable living space with good natural light. The small garden provides a small area for outdoor relaxation.
The exterior of the houseboat shows some age, though it does not appear to be in a state of disrepair. The garden area is relatively small. The location is attractive for its peaceful riverside setting. Proximity to East Farleigh train station provides excellent commuting links for those working in Maidstone or further afield. A number of primary and secondary schools are located within reasonable proximity, though detailed ratings and accessibility would require further investigation.
While the £80,000 price point may seem comparatively low compared to other houses in the area, the limited space and specialized nature of a houseboat warrant consideration. The cost of mooring and ongoing maintenance also must be factored into the overall purchase decision. Potential buyers seeking a unique, low-maintenance lifestyle in a beautiful setting, may find this property appealing.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
