This extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on Rainham High Street combines Edwardian character with a spacious, contemporary rear extension. The open-plan kitchen with island, skylights and bi-fold doors creates a bright family hub that flows to a large landscaped garden and patio — ideal for entertaining or children’s play. Practical features include integrated appliances, two modern bathrooms, off-road parking and a garage, plus a substantial log cabin useful for storage or a home office.
The home sits on a generous plot and offers flexible living across approximately 1,308 sq ft, with bay-windowed bedrooms and polished wooden floors that preserve period charm. The property is freehold, has double glazing fitted post-2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and there are good rail and road connections to London, making the house suitable for commuters and families alike.
Notable considerations: the house dates from the 1930–49 period and cavity walls have no fitted insulation (assumed), so some thermal improvement works could reduce running costs. The EPC is rated D. The wider area shows higher deprivation indicators; local services are plentiful but the community profile is mixed. Crime levels and mobile signal are average. These factors should be weighed by buyers seeking long-term value or rental returns.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-presented family home with strong entertaining spaces and garden potential. It will suit buyers wanting immediate comfortable living with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes over time.
