Summary - 55 HAWTHORN ROAD ROCHESTER ME2 2HW
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free two-bedroom end-terrace with garage, low-maintenance garden and quick rail links to London.
Rare private driveway and single garage for off-road parking and storage
Quietly tucked on Hawthorn Road, this chain-free two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers practical, affordable entry into Strood. The home benefits from an end plot with side access, a private driveway and garage — increasingly rare local assets that simplify parking and storage.
Inside, an open-plan living/dining room and a compact fitted kitchen make everyday living straightforward. Both bedrooms are well sized for the property’s footprint and the ground-floor bathroom includes a shower-over-bath. The rear patio, artificial lawn and lean-to create a low-maintenance outdoor space usable year-round.
There are important considerations: the area records very high crime rates and is relatively deprived, which will affect resale and suitability for some buyers. The property’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation (assumed), so owners should budget for potential improvements to reduce heating costs. The front garden and some external elements show signs they would benefit from refurbishment.
For first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable project with immediate rental potential and excellent rail links to London, this home is a pragmatic choice. Nearby good and outstanding schools, fast broadband and strong mobile signal add to its practical appeal. View with these positives and known maintenance realities in mind.
