4 bedroom terraced house for sale

With its handsome red brick façade, striking bay window and a bright red front door, this Edwardian home on Malvern Road sets a confident first impression before you have even stepped inside. Built in 1903 within a conservation area once created for workers at the historic Chatham Dockyard, the house blends heritage and modern comfort beautifully, all immaculately presented and sold with no forward chain. At around 1,544 square feet and extended to the rear and into the loft, it is very much turnkey, the sort of home you move into and start enjoying from day one.

The original tiled hallway leads you to a grand sitting room where high ceilings, deep coving and an ornate working fireplace frame a wonderfully elegant space. Plantation shutters temper the light through the bay, the Italian antique chandelier glitters above, and a log burner, installed in 2020 and swept yearly, promises cosy winter evenings. Next comes the generous dining room, a natural gathering place for friends and family, opening through glazed doors to the orangery. Under a vaulted glass roof, this versatile room becomes a second living area in all seasons, perfect for slow weekend breakfasts, children’s homework or simply stretching out with a book while the garden draws your eye beyond.

The kitchen carries the character forward with original slate flooring, metro tiling and solid wood worktops, updated in 2013 to provide modern practicality around a statement range oven. A very handy utility and ground floor cloakroom complete the extension, keeping the main living spaces uncluttered. Upstairs on the first floor you will find two broad double bedrooms with fireplaces and built-in storage, plus a charming third bedroom that makes an ideal nursery or study. The family bathroom was renewed in 2021, styled with large format tiles and patterned flooring for a crisp, contemporary finish. Up again to the loft conversion and you discover a calm principal bedroom tucked into the eaves, with plentiful storage and its own en-suite shower room, the perfect retreat at the top of the house.

Throughout, no expense has been spared in maintaining the character. New sash-style double glazing and shutters sit comfortably with original joinery, brass stair clips, period door furniture and a quirky mirrored cupboard on the landing that nods to the home’s past. Every fireplace is original and working, the décor was refreshed in 2022 along with new carpets, and a Ring alarm system covers the front and rear. Gas central heating is serviced annually by British Gas, allowing you to enjoy the style without the stress.

Outside, the garden was redesigned in 2020 to be both smart and easy to maintain, with broad terraces for outdoor dining, artificial lawn for year-round greenery, a mature tree and a timber outbuilding for bikes and garden tools. Street parking is readily available without a permit, and the neighbourhood is as welcoming as the house, long-standing neighbours, family-friendly street gatherings, legendary Christmas lights and a genuine sense of community spirit are part of everyday life here.

Malvern Road is a quiet residential street just 1.1 miles from Gillingham High Street and the High Speed station, ideal for commuting or quick trips into town. Highly regarded schools including local grammars are within easy reach, and there are cafés, restaurants and a new Sainsbury’s close by for the weekly shop. This is a home that offers more than rooms and finishes, it offers a lifestyle where heritage and comfort meet, where mornings begin in the light of the orangery, where evenings end by the fire, and where everything you need is right on your doorstep. Viewings are strongly recommended to appreciate the quality and character on offer.

What the owner says...

"When I purchased the house in 2006 I knew I wanted an older property and loved the photos online and the close proximity to a park and the train station. As soon I set foot in the property I fell in Love. For me it was the original features and sheer size. I have kept all original features and enhanced them using traditional

Colours and accessories which I have sourced over the years from antique venues around the south east. 19 years later I am

Every corner of my home has been restored with passion, and it’s now ready to hold the memories and dreams of its next devoted owner.
