Set on a very large plot on Chatham Road, this 1930s executive-style family home combines period character with modern decoration. The property offers a bright lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and a large conservatory overlooking the private rear garden — ideal for family life and entertaining. Four double bedrooms upstairs are served by a modern shower room and a separate family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for children or home working.
Practical benefits include a long driveway for several cars, an integral garage and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The location is a major strength: peaceful, well-regarded Chatham Road with easy access to the M20, multiple train stations into London and a selection of highly rated schools within walking distance — appealing to families and professionals.
Notable constraints are factual: the EPC is band D and broadband speeds are reported slow, which may affect heavy home working or streaming without upgrades. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as high, so buyers should consider security measures. The house dates from the 1930s with double glazing of unknown install date and a filled cavity wall; some buyers may wish to budget for ongoing maintenance or selective updating despite the current modern finishes.
Overall, this spacious freehold family home offers substantial outdoor space, good internal proportions and excellent transport and school links. It will suit buyers wanting period features with contemporary presentation, but those needing fast broadband or very low-crime surroundings should check connectivity and local conditions in person.
