Description
OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 11TH APRIL 10AM - 11AM
Offered to the market in a popular residential position within Lordswood, this detached three bedroom home presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a full renovation project with genuine long-term upside. Tucked away along a quiet walkway setting, the property already offers the foundations of what could become a superb family home, but it is important to be clear from the outset that this is a house requiring complete refurbishment throughout. From flooring, walls and damp treatment through to the kitchen, bathroom, windows, garden and garage, buyers should approach this as a substantial works project rather than a cosmetic update.
That said, the appeal here is obvious. Detached homes in locations like this are always keenly watched, and with approximately 865 sq ft of internal accommodation, plus a detached garage to the rear, there is real scope for someone with vision, budget and appetite for improvement to transform the property into something special. The current layout already works well for family life, with an entrance hallway leading through to a generous reception room and separate kitchen on the ground floor, while upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Once renovated, the proportions and layout should lend themselves very well to modern everyday living.
Externally, the property benefits from a front garden and a rear garden extending to approximately 36ft, together with rear access to the detached garage and driveway parking to the rear. For buyers used to looking at terraces or homes without proper parking or storage, that additional outside practicality will be a major plus. Equally, the detached nature of the house gives it a sense of independence that many buyers are specifically searching for.
This is very much a home for somebody prepared to take on a serious project. If you are thinking of viewing, we would strongly suggest considering your renovation budget carefully in advance. However, for the right purchaser, the reward could be significant, as once complete, this has all the makings of a very appealing detached family home in an established area.
The location adds further weight to the opportunity. Aintree Road sits in the Lordswood area of Chatham, with local bus stops at Abinger Drive nearby and Chatham station listed as the nearest railway station at around 5 km away. Lordswood is also served by the 166 bus route, which runs between Chatham and Lords Wood, adding to day-to-day convenience for those needing access across Medway.
For everyday amenities, the wider Lordswood area is well known for practical local shopping, with bus services stopping outside The Kestrel Shopping Centre on Kestrel Road, close to Tesco, helping underline the convenience of the area for regular errands and day-to-day living.
For families, Lordswood School on Lordswood Lane is nearby and caters for ages 3 to 11. Government records confirm the school’s location and age range, which is a useful point for buyers looking at primary provision in the immediate area.
Overall, this is not one for buyers seeking a finished product. This is a property for someone who can look past the condition, understand the scale of works required, and recognise the end result that could be created. A detached house, three bedrooms, garage and driveway, a quiet walkway setting, and a well-established Lordswood location combine to make this a genuinely exciting refurbishment opportunity.
