Joyden's Wood, Dartford: Property

Joyden's Wood is a solid choice if you want detached or semi-detached homes without London's price tag. Detached houses average £959,900 and semis come in at £494,300 — both higher than most neighbouring neighbourhoods. Terraced houses here sell for £501,800 on average, which is notably higher than Wilmington, Sutton-at-Hone & Hawley (£371,800) and Swanley White Oak (£343,000). Semi-detached prices also lead the immediate area, beating Hextable (£447,100) and Wilmington (£417,800). Detached homes sit below St Mary's & St James (£835,200) and Maypole & Leyton Cross (£837,900), so if you're after a detached house, you might find better value stretching into those neighbourhoods instead. Flats are hard to come by here — there's only been one recorded sale at £160,000, well under the £250,000 to £320,000 you'd see elsewhere nearby. That's too small a sample to draw any real conclusions from though. Overall, Joyden's Wood works best if you're prioritising terraced and semi-detached houses over flats or detached properties.
