Set on a decent plot in a quiet Rainham street, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers straightforward family living and easy access to local amenities. The open-plan lounge/diner receives good natural light and flows out to a rear garden large enough for children and simple landscaping. Off-street parking and a garage remove the daily parking worry, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working-from-home needs.
The property is freehold and sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with no flood risk. Nearby state and independent schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and local bus links and a nearby lake add leisure and commuting options. The house is a practical size at around 912 sq ft — manageable for first-time buyers or young families who want a ready-to-live-in home with scope to personalise.
Practical points to note: the home was constructed in the 1950–66 period and has double glazing fitted before 2002. There is one bathroom serving three bedrooms, which may be a consideration for growing families. Overall the property has been kept in presentable order but buyers should expect some typical mid‑century updating rather than a modern refurbishment.
This is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer wanting a freehold family home in a comfortable suburb with strong transport and school links. It balances immediate usability with potential to update over time, offering a stable base in a well-regarded part of Rainham.
