A chain-free, three-bedroom end-of-terrace with a rear garage and small garden, ideal for a first-time buyer or young family seeking a low-entry freehold in Rainham. The layout includes a porch, a 14'9" lounge, separate dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms and a single bathroom across two storeys. Fast broadband and proximity to several Good-rated primary and secondary schools add practical convenience.
The property is offered for sale requiring renovation, which is reflected in the asking price. Key opportunities include reconfiguring living space, updating the kitchen and bathroom, and adding modern insulation and heating controls to reduce running costs. The rear garage and garden create useful storage and outdoor space—rare for similar-sized homes in the area.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the house needs renovation throughout, cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and there is only one bathroom. The overall footprint is small (approx. 605 sq ft) and the exterior is dated, so expect cosmetic and likely some fabric upgrades. Local area classifications show mixed signals (wider blue-collar terraces but local aspiring urban households), with average crime levels and no flood risk.
For investors, the property presents refurbishment potential and steady rental demand thanks to nearby amenities, schools and transport links. For owner-occupiers it offers a manageable project with immediate occupancy potential once modernised, and an affordable council tax band to help household budgets.
