This substantial four-bedroom detached home sits on a rare double-sized plot in Riverview Park, Gravesend. The property offers generous family accommodation across nearly 1,942 sq ft, including three reception rooms, a utility area, garage and private driveway. The rear garden is spacious and private, ideal for children, entertaining or a large landscaping project.
The house has clear scope to add value: potential for rear and loft extensions (subject to planning) and a kitchen reconfiguration to create a large open-plan living space. Key improvements already in place include mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). A walk-through video tour is available to preview the layout and proportions.
Buyers should note the property needs modernisation and refurbishment throughout; finishes are dated and there will be renovation costs. Council tax is described as expensive, and the immediate area scores as deprived with above-average crime levels — factors to consider for families and long-term buyers. There is no flooding risk.
Transport and local services are strong positives: Gravesend station (National Rail and High Speed links), Fastrack bus links and good road access to the A2/M2 and M25. Nearby schools include local infant/ junior options and several secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted, though one nearby primary requires improvement. Sold freehold, this home will suit buyers seeking a roomy family house they can modernise and extend.
