About
SALE AGREED BY KAYLEIGH STEVENS Tucked away within one of Hempstead’s most sought-after residential pockets, Gilbert Close offers a rare opportunity to secure a well-cared-for three-bedroom semi-detached home that has been in the same ownership for over 40 years.
Now offered chain free, this is the kind of property that buyers wait for, not because it is perfect and finished, but because it is a genuine blank canvas with the right fundamentals in place.
The home has clearly been loved and maintained over the years, yet it is ready for a new owner to modernise, refresh and make it their own.
Whether you are a first-time buyer stepping up to a family home, a growing family wanting to put down roots in a strong location, or an investor looking for a project with excellent upside, this property delivers the space and potential that so many buyers struggle to find.
A major standout is the plot.
The rear garden stretches to approximately 82ft, and the overall footprint and positioning of the home makes a rear and/or side extension feel like an obvious route for those wanting to create something larger, subject to any necessary planning consents.
For buyers who are not afraid of work, the reward here is clear, not just a renovation project, but the chance to create a home that fits your lifestyle for years to come.
Inside, the layout is practical and well-balanced.
The ground floor provides a generous living room to the front with plenty of natural light, and a separate dining room to the rear that enjoys a view over the garden, giving a comfortable space for everyday family meals or entertaining.
The kitchen sits centrally and offers a functional footprint with scope to reconfigure depending on your plans and budget.
There is also a useful downstairs cloakroom, a feature that always adds day-to-day practicality. Upstairs, you will find two double bedrooms and a third bedroom, along with the family bathroom.
The proportions throughout are consistent with what buyers want from a long-term family home, and the layout offers plenty of flexibility for home working, children’s rooms, guests or hobbies.
Externally, the driveway and detached garage are another key benefit.
The garage, with power and light, is ideal for storage, bikes, tools and the sort of everyday overflow that families accumulate, while the driveway provides practical off-road parking, with the option of converting the front garden in to further off road parking if required.
Location is one of Gilbert Close’s biggest strengths.
Hempstead remains one of Medway’s most popular places to live, loved for its strong sense of community, excellent schooling options, and everyday convenience.
Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre is only a short drive away, offering a wide choice of supermarkets, shops, cafés and restaurants, making day-to-day life easy.
Families will also appreciate access to well-regarded local schools, alongside parks and green spaces nearby.
Commuters benefit from straightforward access towards the M2 and M20 motorway networks and links into Rainham and Gillingham for rail services.
Ultimately, this is a home that appeals to two types of buyer: those who want to improve and personalise at their own pace, and those who can see the clear long-term value in unlocking the potential of a fantastic plot in a premium Hempstead position.
Properties like this, especially chain free and in a location as consistently popular as Gilbert Close, do not stay available for long.
Kayleigh Stevens Property Consultancy is dedicated to providing exceptional service, available seven days a week from 8am to 8pm.
