Chain-free 2-bed with garden and refurbishment potential, close to transport.
Chain-free Victorian mid-terrace with bay windows
A Victorian mid-terrace with genuine potential, offered chain-free and with a GUIDE PRICE of £200,000–£220,000. The house provides two good-sized bedrooms, two reception rooms and a private rear garden — a straightforward layout that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property retains period character externally with bay windows and solid brick walls. Internally it is liveable but dated: the living room features a 1970s-style fireplace and carpeting and would benefit from modernisation. The house is heated by a mains-gas boiler and has double glazing installed before 2002.
Practical positives include a large overall footprint (approx. 1,088 sq ft), very low flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. On-street parking and a well-sized rear garden offer outdoor space and scope for landscaping or extension subject to permissions.
Important negatives are factual and should be considered: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average local crime rates, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation (thermal improvements likely required). The home will suit buyers willing to invest in refurbishment to unlock its value.
This is a straight-forward purchase for someone seeking an affordable entry into Chatham with strong transport links to London, nearby schools (several rated Good) and local amenities close by. For an investor or first-time buyer prepared to update cosmetic and thermal elements, the house presents clear upside and quick-moving purchase potential thanks to no onward chain.
