A compact Victorian end-of-terrace with one double bedroom and its own rear garden, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-entry property in Chatham. The house is freehold, offers mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and surprisingly fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working professionals.
The layout is straightforward: a separate modern-style kitchen, a generous lounge and an upstairs bedroom and bathroom. The property retains period character externally with bay windows and chimney potential, while interior images include virtual staging to show styling potential. Council tax is very low, helping affordable running costs.
Buyers should note the setting: the local area is classified as very deprived with high crime rates, and the neighbourhood is described as hampered — factors that will affect resale and lettings. The building has cavity walls assumed to be uninsulated and the glazing is older, so further insulation or upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The plot is small and the property is average in size at about 560 sq ft, so space is limited compared with larger homes.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase: a one-off, cost-effective alternative to a flat with outdoor space, good transport links and solid rental appeal. It will suit a buyer prepared to accept local area drawbacks and make modest improvements to boost energy performance and long-term value.
