A mid-terraced two-bedroom house close to Gillingham High Street and the mainline station, presented with a modern kitchen and bathroom and a good-sized rear garden. The layout suits a first-time buyer or a retiree seeking a compact, manageable home with gas central heating and double glazing. Freehold tenure and a council tax band described as cheap add to the practical appeal.
There is a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option aimed at buyers aged 60+, which typically reduces the purchase cost versus full market value. Guide figure shown is £165,500 (example saving ~33%) against the market price of £250,000; actual price depends on age, circumstances and any share purchased. If you are under 60 you can buy at the full market price.
Notable negatives are factual: the area records high crime and very high deprivation, the plot is small, and the property was built with solid brick walls likely lacking modern insulation. Some buyers may want further insulation or other upgrades. Nearby schooling and local amenities are plentiful, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no identified flood risk.
