Description

Tucked away on a quiet residential street, this contemporary detached home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable area of Strood. Located just one mile from Strood Station, it offers excellent transport links to central London destinations, making it an ideal choice for commuters seeking a blend of suburban tranquility and urban accessibility. As you enter the property, you’ll notice its modern aesthetic combined with potential for personalization. The main living spaces feature durable luxury vinyl flooring and a thoughtfully designed media wall that provides both practicality and an inviting focal point. The living room is bright and airy, with an electric fireplace set within a stylish tiled feature wall, creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxed evenings. The spacious kitchen dining room serves as the heart of the home, featuring ample storage and integrated appliances that cater well to family life and entertaining. Upstairs, the three bedrooms offer versatile options for homeowners or renters alike. The master bedroom is particularly notable with its bay windows and striking feature wall, allowing plenty of natural light. Bedroom two includes built-in wardrobes that maximize space efficiency, while the third bedroom currently functions as a walk-in closet but could easily be transformed into an office or nursery based on your needs. The outdoor space is equally attractive, highlighted by a generous 100ft rear garden that includes a patio area, lawn, and raised decking—a perfect canvas for landscaping projects or outdoor gatherings. The Summer House—a standout element—comes equipped with air conditioning, built-in speakers, bifold doors, and even a beer fridge. This versatile space can serve as an office, gym, or entertainment area. Additional features of this property include off-street parking with a driveway and an electric vehicle charging unit, along with potential for extension to enhance living space (subject to planning approval). The freehold status ensures autonomy over future renovations while being chain-free allows for a smooth purchasing process. Situated within easy reach of local amenities—including schools, shops like ASDA and Tesco Express—and close to Strood town center's array of services and eateries, this home also benefits from nearby green spaces. Its combination of location advantages and renovation potential makes it suitable not only for families but also for investors looking to capitalize on the area's growth prospects.
