Light-filled Victorian terraced house offered chain-free and ready for new owners. The current layout provides a large master bedroom and an open-plan landing that has been used as a home office, wardrobe and creative space — it can be returned to a conventional two-bedroom plan with minimal work. Period brick facades and mid-century interior touches give character, while double glazing and mains gas central heating make the house comfortable now.
The property sits on a small plot with a private rear garden suitable for relaxing or entertaining. At about 735 sq ft across multiple storeys, the home is well sized for first-time buyers or a small family seeking entry into Rainham. Commuters will value the excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and strong transport links nearby. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should be aware of some practical considerations: the house was built 1900–1929 with solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements would be beneficial. Interiors show dated decor and there’s clear scope for cosmetic updating or a modest refurbishment. The wider area is classified as deprived and local crime is average, factors to weigh against the location and potential upside.
Overall, this mid-terrace is a straightforward, freehold purchase with immediate availability and flexible layout — appealing to first-time buyers wanting space to personalise, or investors looking for a value-add opportunity in a well-connected part of Rainham.
