3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Hazel Grove, Chatham ME5

A fantastic opportunity to transform a three-bedroom semi-detached house into something truly special, with an impressive 80-foot southeast-facing rear garden, a garage, potential for off-road parking and plenty of scope to extend, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Offered with no forward chain, this is a property where the possibilities are every bit as exciting as the space itself.

Set within a sought-after residential location in Chatham, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is crying out for someone with vision and imagination to bring it back to life. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to create your perfect first home, a growing family wanting somewhere you can make your own, or an experienced renovator searching for your next project, there's an incredible opportunity here to unlock the potential of a property with so much to offer.

From the outside, the house has a traditional brick and rendered frontage, with a generous front garden giving it a pleasant sense of space and separation from the road. A pathway leads to the front door, while the garage, positioned to the front of the property, provides useful storage or secure parking. There is also potential to create additional off-road parking, subject to any necessary consents, adding another practical benefit to a home that already has plenty going for it.

Step inside and you'll find a traditional layout that offers a brilliant starting point for a complete transformation. The entrance hallway leads through to a separate kitchen, with a window overlooking the front and a door providing direct access to the outside. Measuring approximately 12'10" x 8'8", the kitchen offers an opportunity to design a fresh, modern space around the way you want to live, with room to rethink the cabinetry, worktops and appliances to suit your needs.

Across the rear of the property is the generously proportioned lounge diner, measuring approximately 19'11" x 11'9". This is a particularly exciting room, with its impressive length providing plenty of space for both relaxing and dining. The existing parquet flooring adds a touch of character, while the fireplace creates a natural focal point. Large windows and a glazed door overlook the rear garden, allowing natural light to filter into the room and providing a lovely connection with the outside. It's easy to imagine this becoming a wonderful place to spend time with family, enjoy Sunday lunches or entertain friends, once thoughtfully renovated and brought up to date.

For buyers looking to take their plans even further, the ground floor layout offers exciting possibilities for reconfiguration. With such a substantial garden to the rear, there may also be an opportunity to extend the accommodation and create a larger, contemporary kitchen and family living space, subject to planning permission and building regulations. Imagine a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen with a central island, a generous dining area and doors opening out onto the garden, creating the kind of space where everyday family life naturally comes together.

Head upstairs and you'll discover three separate bedrooms, all accessed from the landing, making this a practical layout for families and those needing additional space to work from home. The two larger bedrooms are both well-proportioned, measuring approximately 11'9" x 9'8" and 11'9" x 9'11" respectively, offering plenty of flexibility for bedroom furniture and storage. The third bedroom, measuring approximately 8'8" x 6'9", could make a lovely nursery, children's bedroom, dressing room or dedicated home office.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, which currently comprises a bath, wash basin and WC. Like the rest of the property, this is ready for a complete refresh, presenting the opportunity to create a stylish, modern bathroom finished exactly to your own taste.

However, one of the biggest attractions of this property has to be the exceptional rear garden. Extending approximately 80 feet and enjoying a sought-after southeast-facing aspect, this is a fantastic amount of outdoor space, offering room to enjoy the sunshine, entertain, garden and simply relax. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden stretches away from the house, with established boundaries and plenty of scope for landscaping.

For anyone who loves spending time outdoors, the possibilities are particularly appealing. Picture a generous patio immediately outside the house, perfect for summer barbecues and evenings with friends, a large lawn where children can play, colourful planting and perhaps even a vegetable garden or dedicated seating area towards the far end. There is ample room to create different areas for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the outdoors, while still retaining a substantial lawn.

The garden also adds considerably to the property's long-term potential. Subject to the necessary permissions and consents, buyers may wish to explore extending the house to the rear, creating additional living accommodation without sacrificing too much of that wonderful outdoor space. It's this combination of an established home, generous plot and flexibility for the future that makes the opportunity particularly interesting.

Although the property requires significant modernisation and refurbishment throughout, that is very much part of its appeal. Rather than paying a premium for somebody else's choices, here you have the freedom to start afresh, choose your own finishes, rethink the layout and create a home that reflects your lifestyle. From a contemporary family home with open-plan living to a more traditional design that celebrates the property's existing character, there is plenty of scope to make something special.

Situated in an established and sought-after residential area of Chatham, the property offers a setting from which to enjoy everything the wider Medway area has to offer, including its shopping, leisure facilities, green spaces and transport connections. Whether you're looking to put down roots, create more room for a growing family or take on a rewarding renovation project, this is a home with the space and potential to adapt to your plans.

With three bedrooms, a generous lounge diner, separate kitchen, garage, potential for off-road parking, an impressive 80-foot southeast-facing garden and exciting possibilities for further development, subject to planning permission, there is an enormous amount to get excited about here.

Offered to the market with no forward chain, this is an opportunity to see beyond the work required and imagine the home it could become. Properties offering this much potential deserve to be seen in person, so contact us today to arrange your viewing and start planning what you could create.
