This chain-free mid-terraced house offers practical living in central Chatham, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking commuter convenience and room to add value. The ground floor has a living room, sizeable kitchen and a bathroom, with a rear garden and lower-ground basement for storage or conversion subject to consents. Upstairs are two double bedrooms; the master benefits from an en-suite bathroom.
The property was built in the 1930s–1940s and has double glazing (install date unknown) and a mains-gas boiler with radiators. EPC grade D indicates average energy performance; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should budget for target insulation or heating improvements to reduce running costs. Council Tax Band B keeps ongoing charges relatively low.
Location is a key selling point: a short walk to Chatham town centre, shops and leisure facilities, and close to the mainline train station with roughly 45-minute journeys to London. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting home working or streaming. The plot is small and rooms are compact, so the layout suits buyers prioritising location and transport over large living spaces.
Buyers should be aware the area records high crime rates and is classed as very deprived locally, which may affect resale and rental demand. The property will suit someone wanting a commuter base with scope to modernise and improve energy efficiency, or an investor prepared to manage lettings in a challenging local market.
