Summary - 367 PUMP LANE RAINHAM GILLINGHAM ME8 7TJ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Rare historic family home with orchard views and large garage.
Grade II listed Tudor-period timber-framed house, circa 1450
An exceptional Tudor-period home set on a generous plot with far-reaching orchard views, this Grade II listed semi-detached cottage offers rare character and substantial outdoor space. The house retains timber-framed features and exposed beams, and sits behind gated driveway access leading to a large double garage/workshop — ideal for cars, hobbies or storage.
The location balances rural calm with commuter convenience: about 1 mile from Rainham train station and within easy reach of well-regarded local schools, parks and shopping. The property is freehold and offers plenty of scope for sensitive improvement, making it suitable for families who value heritage, space and proximity to amenities.
Buyers should note the listed status — any changes will require consent and could complicate refurbishment. The timber frame is assumed to lack modern insulation and the house has a single bathroom; upgrading heating, insulation and connectivity (broadband is very slow) may be needed to meet contemporary standards. Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the setting, scale and character of this uncommon home.
This is a character-rich opportunity for a buyer prepared to invest in conservation-style improvements. For a family seeking distinctive period living with substantial garden, parking and workshop space, this property is a compelling proposition, provided you accept the responsibilities of owning a historic, listed building.
