A tidy mid-century semi-detached house offering a compact, well-laid-out home in central Rainham. The property suits purchasers looking to downsize into a manageable three-bedroom home with a low-maintenance rear garden and useful rear garage. Its location places shops, rail links and local services within easy reach.
For eligible buyers aged 60 and over there is the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option which typically reduces the upfront cost (guide Lifetime Lease price shown at £248,000 versus full market value £375,000). The plan allows purchasers to buy a share of the property value (up to 50%) so part of the value can be safeguarded for the future. If you are not over 60 the property is also available at the full market price.
Internally the layout is traditional: porch, lounge, separate dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms and a shower room. The house totals about 618 sq ft, so rooms are average-sized and the accommodation is best suited to buyers seeking a modest, easily managed home rather than large-family living. The build date (1950s–1960s) and unknown dates for glazing mean buyers should verify insulation, services and any maintenance history.
Chain-free sale and freehold tenure simplify purchase logistics. Buyers should check measured dimensions, boiler/service records and any past works with their solicitor; fixtures, fittings and services are offered without guarantee and all interested parties must verify details prior to purchase.
