5 bed detached house for sale

1 Whitcombe Close, Lordswood, Chatham, Kent ME5

Offering five bedrooms, two large reception rooms and rear parking with a garage, this substantial home in Whitcombe Close provides a rare amount of space at this price point and a brilliant opportunity to create your ideal layout and finish. Set in an established residential cul-de-sac, it’s the sort of house that can comfortably host visiting family, and friends, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out.

Property Description

Step in through the porch to a welcoming hall that leads to a superb 24'6" lounge running the depth of the home – perfect for large family gatherings or simply relaxing with a view over the garden. Across the hall is a generous 16'8" dining room, easily big enough for a full dining suite and dresser, or even a second sitting room if preferred. To the rear you’ll find the kitchen and a handy ground-floor bathroom, offering scope to reconfigure into a modern kitchen/breakfast space or create a utility area if desired.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with five bedrooms off a central landing. Bedrooms One and Two are particularly well-proportioned doubles, with Bedrooms Three and Four ideal as guest rooms, hobbies rooms or offices. Bedroom Five works well as a nursery, sewing room or extra study. A separate upstairs W.C. Adds day-to-day practicality, especially when the house is full.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly patio. A gate at the back opens to a small parking area in front of the garage, giving private off-road parking and direct access into the garden – ideal for unloading shopping or gardening equipment. While perfectly liveable as it is, this much-loved home is ready for a new owner to update decor and fittings to their own taste, creating a long-term family base in a popular part of Lordswood.

About The Area

Lordswood sits on the southern edge of Chatham, giving you a quieter, more residential setting while still keeping you well connected to everyday essentials. Whitcombe Close is tucked within an established cul-de-sac of similar homes, so you get very little through-traffic and a friendly, settled feel. Local shops, takeaways and day-to-day services are close at hand, with further amenities at Walderslade Village and along the neighbouring residential roads, meaning you don’t have to head into town every time you need something.

For those who like to keep active, Lordswood Leisure Centre offers sports courts, gym facilities and regular classes, and there are several green spaces and woodland walks dotted around the area – ideal for dog walking or a gentle stroll at the weekend. Families will find a choice of primary and secondary schools in the wider Lordswood/Walderslade area, with bus routes linking through to Chatham town centre, the Pentagon bus station and onward to Rochester and other Medway towns.

Road links are another plus: The nearby A2045 and A229 connect you to the M2 and M20, putting Maidstone, the Medway towns and longer-distance commuting routes within easy reach. From Chatham station you can pick up regular services into London, making Lordswood a practical choice for buyers who want a calmer home base without giving up access to major centres.
