Description

Nestled within the sought-after Princess Park area of Walderslade, this three-bedroom semi-detached residence offers a solid foundation for both comfortable living and potential investment. Its elevated position on a generously sized plot enhances the appeal, particularly for those looking to create their dream home or expand its footprint with extension possibilities, subject to necessary planning approvals. The property has been maintained well, presenting an inviting and practical layout that feels spacious and bright, making it move-in ready while still leaving room for personal touches. The modern kitchen is functional and stylish, equipped with ample worktop space and storage that cater to everyday needs or culinary adventures. The well-appointed bathroom exudes a sense of luxury, providing a welcoming retreat. With three bedrooms available, this home accommodates family life seamlessly or offers flexible options for guests or home offices. The outdoor area is a standout feature with significant potential waiting to be unlocked. The side space invites opportunities for extension or landscaping enhancements, while the lower section of the rear garden sits unused and awaits creative vision—transforming it into an enviable outdoor entertainment space could substantially increase property value. Princess Park is a desirable location known for its accessibility to local amenities including Morrison's supermarket, various shops in Walderslade Village, and the Hempstead Valley shopping centre. Efficient transport links connect you to Chatham, Rochester, and Gillingham town centres—all within easy reach and offering mainline train services for commuters.
