This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Hawthorn Road is a solid, mid-20th-century property with good bones and practical family space. At about 837 sqft it offers a comfortable layout with a living room, separate dining/reception, kitchen-diner and one bathroom, plus a private rear garden and off-street parking.
The location provides everyday convenience: nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding, local shops and Strood train station within easy reach. The house is double-glazed (installed post-2002), runs on mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and is freehold with affordable council tax.
There are clear renovation opportunities to add value and tailor the house to modern family life. The interior is dated and will benefit from updating; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated as originally built. The single bathroom may be limiting for a three-bedroom family and the accommodation is average-sized rather than spacious.
Buyers should note the wider context: the area is classified as deprived with very high local crime rates, which will affect long-term desirability and rental prospects. For purchasers willing to invest in modernization, the property offers a decent plot, good transport links and nearby schools, making it suitable for families or an investor targeting refurbishment potential.
