A compact two-bedroom terraced cottage offered chain-free and sold at auction on 30 October 2025. The house requires substantial repair and modernisation throughout, presenting clear scope to add value for an experienced buyer or developer.
The ground floor offers two reception rooms, kitchen, porch and a shower room; first floor has two modest bedrooms. Rooms and overall footprint are small to average, with a small front garden and low brick boundary wall. Heating is by electric room heaters and glazing is double glazed though install date is unknown.
Located close to Rainham station, local shops and a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, the property sits in an area popular with commuting young families. Be aware the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the property sits in a deprived area, which may affect lettability and resale premium without careful refurbishment.
This lot is best suited to a buyer equipped to take on renovation: expect to budget for full modernisation works (kitchen, bathroom, system upgrades, cosmetic repairs and garden tidy). The property is freehold and offered with no onward chain, making it straightforward to acquire at auction, but factor in auction fees and refurbishment costs when assessing value.
