A well-proportioned two-bedroom mid-terrace offering a practical layout for a first-time buyer. The lounge and separate dining area give flexible living space while two double bedrooms and an upstairs bathroom suit a growing household. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, and a good-sized rear garden provides private outdoor space and potential to extend (subject to consents).
The house sits within easy walking distance of Gillingham High Street and the main line station, making commutes and local shopping straightforward. Room sizes are generous for the age: a 14'2" principal bedroom and a separate dining room make day-to-day living comfortable. Broadband and mobile signal are strong in the area.
There are some practical considerations to note. The terrace dates from the early 1900s and has solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, so heating costs and thermal comfort may be affected. The neighborhood has higher-than-average crime and is described as a very deprived area; buyers should factor local conditions into their decision. The plot is small, and the property may benefit from targeted updates rather than a full renovation.
Overall this home is a sensible entry onto the property ladder: affordable, well laid-out, and close to transport and amenities. Buyers seeking a turn-key period property should budget for improved insulation and possible cosmetic updating; investors or those looking to add value will find clear potential in layout and location.
