About this home
A charming three bedroom semi-detached cottage situated in a quiet lane side position on the rural fringes of Gillingham, within a ten minute walk of the town centre, local cafés and pubs and some wonderful countryside walks right on the doorstep.
Full of character throughout, the property has been a much loved home for the past six years and offers well proportioned accommodation across two floors. The ground floor is particularly inviting, with a sitting room featuring an open fire and a generous dining room with a woodburner, both full of warmth and charm. An archway connects the dining room through to the kitchen in an almost open plan fashion, creating a wonderfully sociable and practical ground floor layout. A useful utility area with a downstairs WC and a door leading out to the rear garden adds further practicality. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, the principal benefitting from an en-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom.
Outside, the garden is larger than average, enclosed and laid mainly to lawn with a patio area, mature shrubs and flower beds. A summer house, shed with power and a garage with driveway parking add further appeal to the property.
