This substantial Victorian detached house on Maidstone Road offers a rare opportunity for a buyer prepared to renovate. The property is extremely large (approximately 2,971 sq ft) with high ceilings, bay windows, three reception rooms, a large cellar and off-street parking. Its size and layout suit a large family home or a purchaser considering change of use to small commercial premises (subject to planning).
The building requires comprehensive updating: the listing notes general renovation needs, possible roof/damp and ivy on elevations, and solid-brick walls likely without modern insulation. There is a single principal bathroom serving four/five bedrooms, and services are mains gas with boiler and radiators. EPC rating D and Council Tax band G should be factored into running costs.
This lot is being sold via a secure online auction. Bidders must complete AML verification; the successful bidder pays a non-refundable 5% deposit on exchange plus a reservation fee (up to 6% inc. VAT, minimum £6,000). The buyer is responsible for clearing the property; viewings are strictly by appointment. Interested parties should review the legal pack and check change-of-use regulations with the local authority before bidding.
Location strengths include very easy walking access to Chatham mainline station, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus several good local schools nearby. The surrounding area is urban with an eclectic cultural mix and local amenities, but note the neighbourhood is in a deprived area classification which may affect resale timing and tenant demand.
