Set in the heart of Rainham Village, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a practical and well-located starter home or rental. The ground floor features a through lounge/diner and a separate kitchen, with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. A small, low-maintenance courtyard garden and front driveway add useful outdoor and parking space.
The property has characterful, older construction with solid brick walls and period proportions. Gas central heating, double glazing and a compact layout keep running costs straightforward. At 751 sq ft and freehold tenure, it’s a manageable size for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward let close to transport and local amenities.
Buyers should note the house will benefit from updating: the kitchen shows mid-20th-century fittings, a cracked ceiling requires repair, and walls are assumed uninsulated which could be improved to boost thermal performance. The immediate area has higher crime levels and wider local deprivation, so prospective buyers should factor this into their plans.
The location is a primary selling point — just 0.3 miles to Rainham C2C station for fast links to central London, with schools, shops and leisure facilities within easy reach. For someone seeking a hands-on renovation project or a turn-key rental close to transport, this home presents clear potential.
