Summary - 39 SAXTON STREET GILLINGHAM ME7 5EF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Spacious two-bedroom terrace with refurbishment potential near stations.
Freehold two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with flexible two-storey layout
Two generous reception rooms and two double bedrooms (good usable sizes)
Requires cosmetic refurbishment; visible exterior damp and peeling render
Heating: electric room heaters; walls likely uninsulated (energy works needed)
Double glazing present but installation date unknown
Small/no front garden; limited external space or rear yard unconfirmed
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; close to local train stations
Very high local crime rate and very deprived wider area — important for buyers
Step into a spacious-feeling two-bedroom mid-terrace on Saxton Street, offered as a freehold ideal for first-time buyers, sharers or landlords. Ground-floor reception rooms are generous and flexible, with two double bedrooms upstairs that suit home working or shared living. The layout flows well for everyday use and entertaining.
The property is fundamentally sound — solid brick Victorian construction with double glazing noted — but it requires cosmetic updating and some remedial works. The exterior shows peeling render and damp staining to the lower course; internally there are worn floorboards, peeling paint and general dated finishes. Heating is by electric room heaters and the walls are likely uninsulated, so expect running-cost improvements if central heating or insulation upgrades are desired.
Location perks include strong commuter links with nearby stations, quick mobile and fast broadband, and a dense local amenity mix. Schools in the area include several rated Good; the immediate setting is urban and compact with no visible front garden and only limited external space. Crime levels are high and the wider area is classed as very deprived — important context for owner-occupiers and investors.
Overall this is a compact but usable urban terrace with solid bones and clear scope to add value through targeted refurbishment and heating/insulation upgrades. It suits buyers prepared to invest time and budget to modernise, or investors seeking a straightforward rental asset in a busy town location.
