Chain-free three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace near Gillingham station
Previously operated as a licensed HMO — flexible layout for investors
Requires full modernisation throughout; cosmetic and likely service upgrades
Double-glazed windows and mains gas central heating already installed
Small private rear garden; small plot with on-street parking only
Sold at auction — non-refundable reservation fee and buyer pack payable
Area records higher crime and general deprivation — consider resale risk
Approx 1,074 sq ft; solid brick walls likely uninsulated (1900–1929 build)
This three-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian property on Belmont Road is a spacious, versatile opportunity close to Gillingham station and the town centre. Previously operated as a licensed HMO, the layout includes two reception rooms, a rear kitchen, downstairs bathroom and a small private garden — useful for investors or buyers wanting flexible living space.
The house requires full modernisation: cosmetic updating throughout, potential works to services and internal finishes, and likely insulation improvements to solid brick walls. It is sold via auction, chain-free, with associated reservation fees and a buyer information pack requirement — purchasers should budget for these additional costs and confirm mortgage suitability before bidding.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby primary and secondary schools (several rated Good), and strong local amenities. On-street parking and gas central heating with double glazing are in place, yet the area records higher crime and is within a deprived local authority area, which may affect resale or rental prospects.
For landlords the previous HMO status and proximity to the station offer clear rental potential once renovated. For owner-occupiers, the property is a practical, affordable family home with high ceilings and period features that will reward sympathetic refurbishment.
