2 bed detached house for sale

Lower Rainham Road, Rainham, Gillingham ME7

Dating back to approximately 1745, Rose Cottage is a charming period home occupying a good size plot on the sought-after Lower Rainham Road, just a stones throw away from the Saxon shore way on the banks of the River Medway. Having been in the same ownership for many years, the property now presents a rare opportunity for those looking to undertake a full renovation project or explore the potential for redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Requiring complete modernisation throughout, the existing accommodation offers a traditional layout with two reception rooms, kitchen, ground floor shower room, conservatory and two first-floor bedrooms. Outside, the generous plot provides ample outdoor space together with the added benefit of a double carport, making this an exciting prospect for builders, developers or buyers seeking a self-build opportunity.
Whether restored to its former charm or considered for complete demolition and replacement (subject to planning consent), opportunities such as this are increasingly rare.
