This mid-terrace two-bedroom house on Portland Street offers an affordable, move-in ready option for a first-time buyer. The interior is presented in good decorative order with two reception rooms, a modern bathroom and a handy ground-floor cloakroom. A small private garden provides outside space for relaxing or simple gardening.
The house sits within about a mile of Chatham train station and local amenities, making it convenient for commuters. Practical details include freehold tenure, double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a modest overall footprint of approximately 711 sq ft. Council tax is low, which helps with running costs.
Important considerations are candidly set out: the property lies in a high-crime, very deprived area, and the plot and garden are small with on-street parking only. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the house may benefit from energy-efficiency improvements. External elements noted in images — decking, fencing and some external joinery — will probably need minor repair or upkeep.
For buyers seeking a practical, well-decorated starter home or a straightforward rental investment, this property offers easy occupation and clear scope to add value through modest refurbishment and energy upgrades. Budget for safety and comfort improvements given the local area profile and likely need to upgrade insulation and some external finishes.
