This three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Swanscombe offers practical living and good transport links for first-time buyers. The house provides a spacious reception/dining room, a modern kitchen and shower room, and a surprisingly long rear garden (approx. 46ft) for the area. At 66 sqm (710 sq ft) the home is compact but well laid out for everyday family life.
The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for commuters and home workers. Local amenities, several good primary and secondary schools, Swanscombe Station and Ebbsfleet International are within easy reach, which supports commuting and rental appeal.
Buyers should note the surrounding area scores as deprived with higher-than-average crime; potential purchasers should factor this into their plans. The building dates from the early 20th century and appears to have solid brick walls with no added cavity insulation (assumed), so energy-efficiency improvements may be worthwhile. Interior decor is serviceable but shows signs of wear and some dated finishes — modest updating could add value.
Overall this is a cost-accessible entry-level terraced house with a large rear garden and clear potential to personalise. It suits first-time buyers seeking transport links and outdoor space, or investors targeting demand from commuters. Be realistic about area challenges and likely short-term maintenance or upgrade works.
