Summary - 8 WEST STREET GILLINGHAM ME7 1EE
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Commuter-friendly three-bed with renovation potential and strong rental yield.
Freehold three-bedroom mid-terrace, chain free
Set in the heart of Gillingham, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers straightforward living close to shops, parks and the train station (under five minutes’ walk). The building dates from the 1930s–40s and retains period character such as a fireplace and brick façade while providing an opportunity to add contemporary value through updating and redecoration.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, chain-free sale, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted before 2002, and a Council Tax Band B. Transport links are a real asset for commuters: direct trains reach St Pancras in around 44 minutes, and coastal destinations are reachable within an hour. The vendor’s figures suggest a potential rental yield of about 7.7%, making the property suitable for buy-to-let investors as well as owner-occupiers looking for a manageable three-bedroom home.
Buyers should note the property’s condition and location facts plainly. The house shows wear consistent with a renovation project: some interior rooms have single-glazed windows, signs of damp and general wear, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. The area is classified as very deprived with high local crime levels — an important consideration for families and long-term owners. The EPC rating is D.
This house will suit purchasers wanting a commuter-friendly base or an investor targeting strong rental returns after modest refurbishment. It is best seen by those prepared to undertake cosmetic and some fabric works to unlock its full potential.
