Summary - 39 BIRLING AVENUE, RAINHAM, GILLINGHAM ME8 7EY
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot, garage and walking distance to station and schools.
Detached 1930s family home with original period features
Rarely available four-bedroom detached family home on a generous plot in a sought-after Rainham cul-de-sac. The house retains many original 1930s features — bay windows, decorative mouldings and built-in larders — providing strong period character and scope to create a long-term family home.
The layout includes two substantial reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room with a gas-fired Rayburn that also heats hot water and radiators, four first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Driveway parking and a garage add practical space for cars and storage; the rear garden is mainly lawn with established shrub borders and room for landscaping or extension (subject to planning).
Important practical points: the property requires modernisation; walls are cavity built with assumed no insulation and the EPC is band E. Heating is mains gas via boiler and Rayburn, and the house has double glazing of unknown installation date. Council tax is above average. Chain free and positioned within walking distance of Rainham town centre, mainline station and several 'Good' schools, this home suits families seeking space, character and long-term value through renovation.
