This duplex flat on the first and second floors offers adaptable living across approximately 1,368 sq ft, well suited to a growing family who need space close to transport and local amenities. The layout provides up to six flexible reception/bedroom spaces, a generous kitchen, lounge and a dressing room off the principal bedroom, with the advantage of a private garden.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed after 2002) and good digital connectivity, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is a short walk from Gillingham High Street and the station, and several primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, including a Good-rated primary and secondary option nearby.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold (about 120 years remaining) with an annual service charge of £2,304, and it is located in a high-crime, high-deprivation area which may affect resale and rental demand. There is only one full bathroom (plus cloakroom), and the building is of solid brick construction likely without wall insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements may be desirable.
This is a characterful Victorian conversion offering scope for modernisation and value-adding improvement. It will suit a purchaser looking for roomy family accommodation in a well-connected town location, and those prepared to invest in upgrading thermal performance and interiors to maximise long-term comfort and value.
