Upper Fant Road, Maidstone, ME16 8DB

This gorgeous Victorian home has the kind of welcoming atmosphere that is hard to put into words until you walk through the door. It feels cosy and inviting, with accommodation set across three floors, plus an additional room in the loft, ensuring it offers plenty of space both inside and out.

The location, in the Fant Area of Maidstone, is one of the things local residents say they love most. You are just minutes from being able to enjoy the countryside, or to walk down to the River Medway one day, then take a stroll into Maidstone Town Centre for shops, restaurants and everyday bits the next. Maidstone West Station and Barming Stations are within easy reach if you commute or like to get out and about, and Maidstone Hospital is close by too.

Inside, the ground floor is set up in a way that simply works. The sitting room is the kind of space where you want to curl up in the evening in front the television. While the kitchen/diner is ideal whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast, enjoying a coffee with friends, or having the family around for a Sunday roast. Having been recently replaced with a stylish Wren kitchen, this space is practical and well laid out, with enough room to cook and dine comfortably,  it's the real heart of everyday life happening around the house. The kitchen is complemented by a useful utility room which provides a practical extra space and leads through to access to the garden and onto a lovely modern bathroom, which is bright and a really nice size. 

The basement is a superb element of the home, easily accessed from the kitchen via a well lit staircase, it feels warm and enticing. Its the sort of space you can image using for hobbies or as a games room, it's also ideal for additional storage or for use as an extra reception room. 

The first floor has two bedrooms that both feel calm, spacious and restful. At the very top is the loft room, which feels like a bonus space and gives the house much more flexibility than you typically find in Victorian terraces. It could work brilliantly as a home office, or simply somewhere to escape to for some quiet time.

The garden at the back is private and very usable. It is big enough to enjoy without feeling like constant upkeep is required. Whether you picture summer barbecues, growing a few veg, setting up a play area or just putting out a chair and enjoying some sun, it’s a lovely outside space to spend time in.

Homes that feel this genuinely warm and comfortable do not come up very often. With character, space, lovely surroundings and the town on the doorstep, this property blends convenience and lifestyle in a way that is easy to love.
