This double-fronted, five-bedroom family house sits on a generous 0.1-acre plot just 1.29 miles from Strood station, offering roomy living across 2,260 sq ft. The ground floor centres on a contemporary open-plan kitchen with premium quartz worktops and a large island — a practical, stylish hub for family life and entertaining. A separate utility and downstairs cloakroom add everyday convenience.
Upstairs, the luxurious master suite includes an ensuite and dedicated dressing area, with four further well-proportioned bedrooms and a converted loft providing flexible space for a home office, playroom or guests. The rear garden has been landscaped to include a dedicated bar room and terrace, plus a detached outbuilding useful as a home office or summerhouse.
Practical positives include driveway parking, freehold tenure, no identified flood risk and affordable council tax banding. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, making the house well-suited to modern family routines and remote working.
Buyers should be aware of real local challenges: the wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels and a hampered neighbourhood local classification. The house sits within a run of similar mid-20th century homes and, while well-presented, some buyers may wish to carry out further modernisation to personalise bathrooms or other finishes. Viewings recommended to assess suitability for family needs and commutes.
