Guide price £200,000–£220,000. This mid-terraced Victorian property offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase in central Chatham. With two bedrooms, one bathroom and a compact reception, it suits first-time buyers or landlords seeking a city-centre let close to transport and local amenities.
The house sits on a modest plot with a long, narrow rear garden that brings useful outdoor space and scope for landscaping or a modest rear extension (subject to planning). The interior is presented with a modern kitchen and ready-to-live-in décor in places, but the property shows typical period wear externally and there is potential for damp — buyers should allow for some remedial and upgrading work.
Construction is traditional solid brick with older double glazing and gas-fired central heating via boiler and radiators. The walls appear uninsulated as-built, which may mean higher heating costs until upgraded. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern home working and connectivity.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, on-street parking and proximity to Chatham station with fast rail links to London, plus local shops, schools and the Medway Maritime Hospital within walking distance. Note the area records high crime and very high deprivation indicators; this will influence resale and rental demand and should be factored into budgeting and insurance.
