A rare 1920s Hempstead home on an approx 0.16 acre plot, with a huge driveway, 120ft+ rear garden and lovely character throughout. Packed with upgrades and exciting scope to extend (subject to checks).

Pine Grove, Hempstead, is the sort of home you rarely see come to market in this part of Hempstead, a characterful 1920s house sitting proudly on a substantial plot of around 0.16 acres, with an exceptionally deep driveway to the front, and a 120ft+ rear garden that feels made for long summers, family get togethers and future plans.

Step inside and you instantly get that warm, traditional “proper home” feel. There’s a welcoming entrance hall, a separate 15ft dining room which flows into the front lounge – a cosy, comfortable space to shut the door, unwind and enjoy quieter evenings. It’s the kind of layout that suits real life: family meals in the dining room, a snug lounge for film nights, and plenty of scope to open things up further over time if that’s your style.

To the rear, the kitchen connects to the garden and the attached garage, offering practicality today and exciting potential for tomorrow. With a plot of this scale, it’s easy to see why the current owners have enjoyed the space, and why the next owner could make this their “forever” home with the right vision.

Upstairs, you have three bedrooms and a family bathroom – a classic layout that works brilliantly for families, upsizers and anyone wanting that extra bedroom for guests, a nursery, or a home office. There’s also a fully boarded loft with ladder, giving excellent storage and keeping the main rooms clutter free.

What’s particularly attractive here is that this isn’t a “project house” in the stressful sense, a huge amount of meaningful improvement work has already been done. The owners have invested in the fundamentals, a modernised drainage system to the front (2023), and a replumb with a dual heating system (upstairs and downstairs) installed in 2024. More recently, there’s been a new garage door, new carpets and bathroom flooring, cavity wall insulation, new windows (excluding the kitchen), new leadwork, the exterior fully repainted, plus a new summerhouse roof, rebuilt veranda to the rear and by the previous owners, a Vaillant boiler installed in (2019/2020). All of which adds up to a home that’s been steadily cared for and improved, not just cosmetically “touched up”.

And for buyers who love a long term plan, there’s an extra layer of excitement: Medway Council has previously granted planning permission that included extending over the garage to create a 4th bedroom and en-suite and substantially to the rear, under application reference MC/21/1326, with a decision shown as “Approved with Conditions”. Copies of these plans are available on request and on viewings. 

Even if your plans differ, having that precedent can be a real confidence boost when you’re thinking about future space, layout and value.

Location wise, Pine Grove sits in a genuinely convenient spot for daily life. Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre is close by for supermarkets, retail and restaurants, and the wider area is well placed for schooling, parks and commuter routes. It’s also worth noting that while Hempstead has a mix of homes, much of the surrounding development is later 20th century in character, which is why a 1920s home with this plot size feels like such a standout.

If you’re looking for a home with real character, proper family proportions, and the kind of plot and potential that’s becoming harder and harder to find in Hempstead, Pine Grove is one you’ll want to watch closely.
