This compact three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house on Charter Street is offered freehold and chain-free, making a quick purchase possible. Its location—walking distance to Gillingham station and the University of Kent—creates clear rental demand from commuters and students. Two reception rooms (one with a bay window) and a downstairs shower room provide ready-made living space and a simple layout for lettings or owner-occupation.
The property’s small garden with decked area and rear pedestrian access is a useful outdoor asset in an urban setting. Internal features include double glazing (date unknown), gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and modern laminate flooring in the living room. Council tax is low and broadband and mobile signals are good, supporting tenants who work or study from home.
Buyers should note material drawbacks objectively. The house is small (approximately 786 sq ft) with only one bathroom, limiting appeal for larger households. The area is classified as very deprived with high local crime levels, which will influence tenant mix and rental yields. The property’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed despite the current EPC D rating.
For investors this represents a straightforward purchase with immediate letting potential due to transport links and proximity to the university. For purchasers seeking long-term uplift, modest refurbishment—insulation, possible redecoration and modernising services—would improve comfort, marketability and energy performance.
