Stylish & Spacious Extended Semi-Detached Family Home with Stunning Open-Plan Living

This beautifully extended three-bedroom semi-detached home perfectly blends style, space, and practicality — designed with modern family living in mind.

From the moment you step into the generous entrance hallway, you’ll appreciate the light and sense of space that flows throughout. The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan living area, thoughtfully extended by the current owners to create a warm, sociable environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

A few steps lead down into the bright lounge area, complemented by a designated dining space, a clever understairs office nook, and a convenient downstairs W/C. A separate utility room adds further practicality, keeping the main living areas clutter-free.

The modern kitchen is a true showstopper — featuring a central island, sleek cabinetry, and a striking sky lantern that floods the space with natural light. Bi-fold doors open seamlessly to the private rear garden, perfect for al fresco dining and summer gatherings.

Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms — two generous doubles and a good-sized single — along with a luxurious family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath and a separate shower.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a large driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a garage for additional storage.

LocationSunnyfields Close is a highly desirable and quiet residential area in the heart of Rainham, offering the perfect balance of peaceful living and everyday convenience.
Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Rainham’s mainline railway station, providing direct routes to London, while the A2 and M2 motorways offer excellent road links to surrounding towns and the Kent coast.
Families are well-catered for too, with a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, along with local shops, cafes, and essential amenities all within easy reach.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
