An absolutely stunning Edwardian style home boasting immense charm and character. The property dates back circa 1900 and has been sympathetically restored over the years to make for a modern family home. This grand property consists of four double bedrooms and parking for plenty of vehicles.

Accessed via Lyra Close, you are greeted with iron gates leading to a large bloc paved drive for numerous vehicles and and double garage. The ground floor presents a porch with W.C, imposing entrance hall with feature fire, contemporary style kitchen/dining room with an array of fitted wall and base units , beautiful bay fronted dining room, office/study and generously sized open plan lounge/sitting room with double doors leading into the private rear garden.

The first floor consists of an impressive landing with glorious stained glass windows, four sizeable double bedrooms, with the master bedroom benefiting from substantial balcony over-looking the garden making it the perfect place to relax on those long summer days and the elegant family bathroom with separate shower and stand alone bath.

Externally, a manageable rear garden with multiple seating areas and sandstone patio to the front of the property. Additional benefits include an annexe/studio featuring it's own shower room and wc. The property also benefits from a sizeable cellar.

Rainham and Gillingham lie in the Medway, both being circled by charming semi-rural villages. There are several shopping destinations for residents, including Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre and Gillingham Business Retail Park, as well as an abundance of local pubs and restaurants. Both towns are served by well-respected schools, including Rainham Mark Grammar.

Rainham and Gillingham have oodles of open space and facilities, including Capstone Country Park, Berengrave Nature Reserve, Riverside Country Park, the Silver Blades Ice Rink, the Ski & Snowboard centre and Great Lines Heritage Park.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Daniel Freeman
I have been an estate agent for over 13 years. I have an extensive knowledge in selling properties and have successfully moved 1000’s of buyers into their dream home. I grew up in the Medway towns and have a great knowledge of our local area which is important when selling your home. I started my career working for a national estate agents and within a few years progressed to running my own region in Kent.
Testimonial 1
Karl and Dan have been amazing from the start. Very prompt responses and are very professional in everything they do, from viewings, to checks, liaising with all parties and keeping everyone as up to date as possible. We have bought our second home with their help and because of the excellent services they have provided we have decided to rent the property using their services as well. It has been an easy and quick process throughout.
Testimonial 2
I would strongly recommend Daniel and Karl from Freeman and Gray for your home sales and lettings as I have found them to be extremely professional. Their communication with us was fantastic throughout the whole process. All our questions were answered and they definately know the Housing Market. A special thank you to Daniel for he's attention to detail at all times.
Testimonial 3
Daniel and Karl (Freeman & Gray) have been absolutely brilliant. From start to finish, they have been professional and so helpful in every manner and, available at any given time. They sorted out my tenancy and the niggling problems with great efficiency. I would have been totally lost without the pair of them.
Thank you!

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
