Summary - 79 KENT ROAD GRAYS RM17 6DE
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Freehold two-bed terrace near Grays station with garden and refurbishment potential.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace with period brickwork
This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Kent Road offers a manageable, freehold starter home in a well-connected part of Grays. The house sits on a traditional Victorian terrace with period brickwork, double glazing and a long rear garden — rare for properties at this price point. Commuters will value Grays C2C station and the A13/M25 links close by.
Internally the layout is traditional with two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and one bathroom across about 807 sqft. The current owners have retained some attractive original character and installed contemporary flooring, but the property overall presents clear scope to personalise and improve. For a first-time buyer this is an opportunity to add value through selective updating.
Important practical points: the house is solid-brick (likely built 1900–1929) and is assumed to lack cavity wall insulation. Images and notes indicate areas that need modernisation and possible damp that should be inspected and budgeted for. Council tax band is low and the freehold tenure keeps ongoing costs straightforward.
Local amenities are strong — good primary and secondary schools nearby, shops, frequent buses and fast broadband. The small front plot and long rear garden offer outdoor space without onerous maintenance. Overall the property suits buyers looking for a central, commuter-friendly home they can improve over time rather than a fully finished move-in-ready house.
