This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Crosley Road offers an affordable step onto the property ladder in Upper Gillingham. The house retains period character—bay windows, high ceilings and wooden floors—across two reception rooms and a practical kitchen, all within a compact 813 sqft footprint. A small rear garden provides low-maintenance outdoor space.
The property is freehold and heated by mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed (pre-2002). Its solid brick construction reflects early 20th-century build standards, but the walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades if desired. The accommodation is straightforward and suits buyers able to carry out light refurbishment to personalise finishes and improve energy efficiency.
Location is a key strength: close to Watling Street shopping parade, local amenities, and fast commuter links from Gillingham town centre to London. Nearby primary and secondary schools include several rated Good, making the area practical for young families or first-time purchasers planning a commute. Note that the immediate area records higher crime rates, which may affect some buyers’ preferences.
Overall this home is best for first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable project with character, good transport links and affordable running costs. Essential checks should include insulation, window condition given the age of glazing, and general servicing of heating and electrics prior to purchase.
