A substantial five-bedroom Victorian detached house on Maidstone Road offering nearly 3,000 sqft of floor space and a very large plot. The property retains strong period character—high ceilings, large rooms, ornate fireplaces and bay windows—that will appeal to buyers who value original detail and generous internal proportions.
Sold at auction and requiring full updating throughout, the house is a clear renovation project with significant upside for an investor or developer. It is freehold, currently EPC band D, with mains gas boiler heating and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated). Change of use to commercial is a possibility subject to local authority approvals.
Practical advantages include a central urban location in Chatham with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, off-street parking and a large garden. Nearby schools (including two highly ranked grammar schools) and local amenities increase rental and resale appeal. Notable negatives: the property needs comprehensive refurbishment, council tax band G (quite expensive), the area scores as deprived and there are average local crime levels. Buyers should budget for insulation work, modern heating/electrical upgrades and possible structural and planning costs.
