Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom detached home offers practical family living with a private driveway, garage and a large rear garden. The ground floor benefits from an open-plan living/dining area with patio doors to a raised patio, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, a sizeable home office and a downstairs WC — useful for busy family life or working from home.
Upstairs the principal bedroom has a contemporary en suite, alongside three further bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobes) and a flexible fourth room ideal as a nursery or dressing room. The property was built in the 1980s, has cavity walls and double glazing (installation date unknown), and is heated by a mains gas boiler with radiators.
Location is a strong selling point: local supermarkets, health services and a wide choice of primary and secondary schools are close by, while Strood station provides high-speed rail links to London in around 35 minutes. The house sits on a larger-than-average plot with low-maintenance landscaping and scope for further garden improvement or extension subject to planning.
Buyers should note material negatives: the address sits in an area with very high recorded crime and high deprivation, and council tax is above average. While the house is presented in good decorative order, the 1980s construction means some buyers may want to budget for modernisation or check mechanical and electrical systems and glazing ages before purchase.
