A traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace offering straightforward town living within easy walking distance of Gillingham station (0.3 miles) and Medway Maritime Hospital (1.1 miles). The property is freehold and chain-free, with practical modern comforts including double glazing and mains gas central heating. The compact interior and small front yard are typical of Victorian terraces, while a notably long rear garden provides private outdoor space rarely found at this price.
The house will appeal to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry into the area, with potential to increase value through targeted modernisation. The kitchen is in reasonable, contemporary condition; other areas will benefit from cosmetic updating and general maintenance. The solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and 1900–1929 construction mean buyers should consider insulation and improvement works to reduce running costs.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors: the area is very deprived with high crime levels, and the exterior shows signs of wear (peeling paint, unkempt frontage) and 1970s alterations. No driveway is provided. Council tax is described as cheap, and broadband and mobile connectivity are strong. Viewing is recommended to assess the house’s layout and renovation potential in person.
