Summary - 31 MONTFORT ROAD, STROOD, ROCHESTER ME2 3EU
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Retirement-friendly home with garden and refurbishment potential.
Victorian mid-terrace with period features and chimney
A Victorian mid-terrace with two double bedrooms and separate lounge and dining rooms, offering classic period proportions across roughly 894 sq ft. The house has double glazing (fitted post-2002), gas central heating and a private rear garden with shed — a useful outdoor space in a compact plot.
This property is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease illustration for over-60s: an indicative Lifetime Lease guide price of £172,000 (market value shown as £260,000). The Lifetime Lease can mean a 20–50% saving depending on age and circumstances, and allows purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard capital. Only applicants aged 60+ are eligible for that plan; others can buy at full market value.
Practical strengths include good commuter links to the mainline station, nearby schools, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working. Council tax is inexpensive and the home has scope for modest updating or refurbishment to add value.
Notable drawbacks: the area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators; the house sits on a small plot and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. The property is presented as a renovation opportunity in places and buyers should verify all measurements, services and tenure details before committing.
