A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offering an affordable route into Gravesend with a spacious rear garden and allocated off-street parking. The property is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £195,000 (typical saving vs market value), making it attractive to eligible over-60s; the full market price is £295,000 for buyers not using the scheme. Freehold tenure and proximity to Trosley Country Park add practical appeal.
Internally the house provides a lounge, kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and a single bathroom across about 614 sq ft. The layout is straightforward and suits downsizers, first-time buyers using the scheme, or buy-to-let investors seeking a manageable property with garden space for tenants. Local amenities, low crime levels and good-rated primary schools are nearby.
There are a few practical points to note: the property is small and the plot compact, double glazing was fitted before 2002, and external cavity walls are uninsulated (assumed). Broadband speeds are reported as slow. These factors mean modest investment may be needed to improve energy performance and connectivity.
Overall this is a pragmatic, affordable option for over-60s wanting to reduce upfront cost via a Lifetime Lease, or for investors/first-time buyers prepared to accept a smaller footprint and carry out basic updates. Buyers should verify all details and obtain professional advice on the Lifetime Lease terms and any works required.
