Little Marsh House, Gillingham SP8

Description

Little Marsh House is an exceptionally attractive period country home that has been extended and extensively renovated to a very high standard. Beautifully positioned within its own mature and private gardens in the highly sought-after village of Milton on Stour.

From the outside, the property has an abundance of charm and character, with its handsome red-brick elevations, traditional tiled roof, attractive gables, mature climbing plants and established planting creating a wonderfully welcoming first impression.

The property has been thoughtfully updated over the past couple of years while retaining the character and individuality that make it so appealing. Charm can be found in every room, whether through an old feature fireplace, exposed stonework, original brickwork, timber floors, exposed beams or carefully selected decorative finishes. The result is a home that feels both characterful and comfortable, with each space having its own distinctive atmosphere.

The property can be approached via the main entrance, through a charming brick built porch with windows, which opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall. Alternatively, there is access to the side of the property through the useful boot room extension, providing an especially practical entrance after muddy walks in the surrounding countryside, as well as an ideal space for storing coats, boots and everyday belongings.
The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, with a wood-burning stove creating a warm and cosy focal point. The generous dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining and family gatherings, while continuing the property's combination of period character and homely finishes.

At the heart of the house is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with attractive deep blue cabinetry, timber work surfaces and a range-style cooker. The patterned tiled splashbacks add colour and personality, while exposed timber and natural stonework bring warmth and texture to the room. The kitchen provides a wonderful blend of practicality and character, with plenty of space for both everyday family life and entertaining.

Leading from the kitchen is the recently extended garden room, a lovely light-filled space with a skylight and a wonderful aspect over the garden. The room benefits from double-aspect bi-fold doors, allowing the garden to become an extension of the living space during warmer months. Directly outside is a low-maintenance gravel patio, providing an ideal area for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining while enjoying views across the beautifully established grounds.

There is also a well-appointed shower room on the ground floor, conveniently positioned for both guests and everyday family use. The room provides a practical addition to the accommodation.

Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own dressing room, together with a family bathroom. As throughout the house, the bedrooms retain a sense of individuality and character.

The gardens are a particular feature of Little Marsh House. Predominantly laid to sweeping areas of lawn, they are surrounded by mature trees, established shrubs and well-stocked borders, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. There are several areas from which to enjoy the garden, along with raised beds and timber buildings, providing a useful additional space for hobbies, work or storage.

With its handsome exterior, wealth of period features, versatile accommodation and beautifully established gardens, Little Marsh House is a characterful and highly appealing country home, offering a rare combination of traditional charm, practical modern living and a strong connection with its garden.
