This two-bedroom maisonette offers an affordable entry into Chatham with practical amenities and straightforward layout. At 566 sq ft the home is compact but well-laid-out, with a separate reception room, two double bedrooms and a private garden. Off-street parking and a long lease (approx. 144 years remaining) add tangible ownership benefits.
The property is functionally presented: double glazing, mains gas boiler and an EPC rating of C help keep running costs down; council tax band B is inexpensive. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, and local primary and secondary schools with Good Ofsted ratings are within reach — a sensible choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors targeting stable local demand.
Buyers should note the maisonette shows 1970s/1980s styling throughout and will benefit from cosmetic updating. The kitchen and living room are dated and the property has only partial cavity wall insulation (assumed). There are no reported flood risks, and the area is assessed as very affluent overall, though the immediate local classification indicates mixed economic profiles.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, entry-level home with good basic services, parking and a garden. It suits purchasers willing to accept some cosmetic work in exchange for a long lease, low taxes and straightforward running costs.
