Summary - 57 ROBERTS ROAD GILLINGHAM ME8 0AZ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable retirement or downsizing option with optional Lifetime Lease savings.
Freehold two-bedroom period terraced house, circa 646 sq ft
A smartly presented two-bedroom terraced house in central Rainham offering genuine value and flexible purchase options for older buyers. The traditional layout provides a cosy lounge, separate dining room and a modern compact kitchen; upstairs are two bedrooms and a separate bathroom—uncommon in similar homes.
This property is offered freehold at a market value of £260,000. Buyers aged 60+ can consider a Lifetime Lease option which typically reduces the purchase cost (example guide price £172,000, saving around 33%; actual saving varies by age and circumstances and may allow purchase of up to 50% share). The scheme can make this an affordable retirement or downsizing choice.
Accommodation is presented as a neutral blank canvas, ready for light updating. The house benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and low local crime, but rooms and the garden are modest in size, and the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation — future purchasers may wish to budget for insulation or energy improvements.
Set in a comfortable suburb close to shops, bus links and Rainham train station, this mid-terrace is well placed for local amenities and several well-rated schools nearby. It suits someone seeking a manageable home in an affluent, low-deprivation area with fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
