The Elms is a substantial red brick Victorian villa, occupying a commanding and enviable position in the heart of Gillingham.

The first floor hosts three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and shower, while the versatile attic houses two additional bedrooms or a quiet home office.

The Situation
Gillingham is an expanding town offering services to cater for most everyday requirements including Waitrose, Asda and Lidl supermarkets, pharmacy, bank, post office, doctors’ surgery, pubs and cafes. Gillingham enjoys a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo (2 Hours) and the West Country and is located just 4 miles from the A303 giving road access to the South West and London via the M3, whilst the A350 provides access to the coast. For more diverse shopping the towns of Yeovil and Salisbury are 30 – 45 minutes by car. The area provides a number of highly regarded state and independent primary and secondary schools and numerous leisure activities are on offer at the local leisure centre as well as golf, horse-riding, cycling and more in the vicinity.

Gardens & Grounds
The property is approached via a sweeping private driveway that curves through mature lawns, providing a grand sense of arrival and ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The rear garden is a true oasis in the centre of town. The private lawns are bordered by mature hedges and a selection of established fruit trees, offering a secure and tranquil environment for outdoor dining and play.
A detached double garage offers secure vehicle storage.
Note: Two trees have a Preservation Order.

A historic pre-application to demolish the house and build five news homes received a favourable response from Dorset Planning.

Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (aml) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property. W&W use a specialist service called "Guild 365" to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
