A vacant three-bedroom end-of-terrace with generous rear garden, offered freehold and sold by live public auction on 10 October 2025. The house sits less than half a mile from Chatham mainline station and backs onto Chalk Pit Community Park, giving rare outside space for a property of this size in a city location. Its compact footprint (approximately 765 sq ft) and layout suit investor refurbishments or an owner-occupier willing to modernise.
Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and period proportions, the property retains character but requires a programme of renovation throughout. The property is double glazed (install date unknown) and heated by a mains gas boiler and radiators, but the solid walls likely lack insulation and internal redecoration, damp-proofing or other upgrades may be needed. The EPC is D.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the area is classified as very deprived with high local crime levels, and the property needs renovation and maintenance. Sale by auction includes fees: an administration fee of 0.6% inc VAT (minimum £900) and a buyer's premium of 1.5% inc VAT (minimum £1,800) payable on exchange. This is a clear opportunity for cash buyers or investors seeking a value purchase close to transport links, or a hands-on buyer prepared to refurbish to add immediate value.
