Semi-detached house for sale in New Road, Gillingham SP8

A great chance to purchase a mature semi detached home that offers so much more than the frontage belies. Beyond the front door this delightful home provides truly flexible and well proportioned accommodation with three/four bedrooms, large rear garden, generous parking and is presented to the market with the advantage of no onward chain. The property boasts a lovely view of Duncliffe Wood to the rear and is ideally located within a short walk to the mainline train station and the town centre. Gillingham offers a full selection of amenities with a range of independent shops and chain stores, doctor and dentist surgeries, schooling for all ages and a variety of entertainment venues. We believe that the property dates to the late 1800s/early 1900s and has been home to our seller for the last six years. During this time it has benefitted from a large single storey rear extension, which provides an 'on trend' open plan kitchen and dining area, reception room/bedroom four and an en-suite shower room. There is the option to open up this area to one big space, if desired. In the last two years, the property has also been re-wired, new smart light switches have been fitted (Alexa and Google friendly) and a new combination gas boiler has been installed in the loft. In addition, an en-suite and walk in wardrobe have also been created in the main bedroom. It is vital that a viewing is carried out to fully appreciate the size of both the inside and outside space and how one can make it home.
