A compact, freehold one-bedroom terraced home offering straightforward, low-maintenance living close to Chatham mainline station. The open-plan ground floor with a fitted kitchen provides a bright everyday space, while the double bedroom and first-floor bathroom keep the layout simple and efficient — a practical fit for first-time buyers or commuters.
The property benefits from a southwest-facing small garden that catches afternoon sun and an allocated parking space, with additional resident permit parking available for £30 a year. Fast rail links make commuting easy, with direct trains to London taking around 32–45 minutes depending on service, so this address will appeal to those working in the city.
There are a few important drawbacks to note. The area records very high crime levels and is described as very deprived, which affects local amenity perception and resale dynamics. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas central heating, and the exterior shows signs of age and will benefit from cosmetic updating. The plot is very small, so outdoor space is limited.
This home represents an affordable, freehold entry onto the ladder with clear potential for cosmetic improvement. Buyers should verify service charge, tenure details, and the condition of fixtures, fittings, and services through a survey and solicitor checks before committing.
