House to rent Old Road West, Gravesham

Description

This impressive three-bedroom semi-detached period property offers over 1,300 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, combining attractive period character with a range of modern improvements. The property would make an excellent home for a professional couple or family, offering considerably more space than many comparable three-bedroom properties and a particularly convenient location for commuters, local schools, shops and everyday amenities.

Internally, the accommodation is exceptionally versatile, with two separate reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen and a contemporary family bathroom, while the three bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall providing access to the principal living accommodation and stairs leading to the upper floors. The first reception room is a generous and inviting space, retaining the character expected of a period property while providing plenty of room for comfortable everyday living. This room would make an ideal formal lounge or entertaining space. The second reception room provides excellent additional flexibility and could be used as a dining room, family room, home office or second sitting room. The two-reception-room arrangement is particularly useful for modern tenants who require separate areas for relaxing, dining and working from home. To the rear is the impressive modern fitted kitchen, offering a contemporary and practical environment for everyday cooking. The kitchen provides a good level of storage and preparation space and benefits from direct access towards the rear garden. One of the standout features of the property is the bi-fold doors leading from the rear of the house into the garden, creating an excellent connection between the internal living space and the outside.

The first floor provides two well-proportioned bedrooms together with the property's modern family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double room with ample space for a substantial bed and bedroom furniture, while the second bedroom also provides excellent flexibility and would comfortably accommodate a double bed or alternatively work particularly well as a guest bedroom or home office. The contemporary family bathroom is finished to a modern standard and provides a practical suite for the household.

The second floor provides a further third bedroom, making this an ideal arrangement for families, professional sharers or tenants requiring additional space for working from home. The additional floor also provides a degree of separation from the principal living accommodation, making the room particularly versatile.

To the rear is a south-facing landscaped garden, providing a fantastic private outdoor space and one of the property's most attractive features. The garden is well suited to outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing during the warmer months, with the south-facing aspect offering excellent potential for enjoying the sunshine throughout the day. The bi-fold doors from the kitchen/rear reception area make this an especially appealing space for tenants who enjoy entertaining or want a property that offers a genuine indoor/outdoor feel.

On-street parking is available on the surrounding roads.
