Set on a generous plot on Shaftesbury Road, this 1930s detached family home offers spacious, flexible living across two floors. The property includes three good-sized bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large kitchen with a separate utility — practical for family life and home working. A sunny, manageable rear garden and a wide driveway leading to a powered double garage provide abundant outdoor space and parking.
The layout and room sizes give immediate liveability, while the house also presents scope for cosmetic modernisation and improvement. The exterior and garden would benefit from landscaping; internal upgrades may include updating some fixtures and finishes to bring the home fully up to modern standards. The home has double glazing and mains gas central heating, but the energy efficiency is rated D and the cavity walls are shown as having no insulation (assumed).
Location is a key strength: the property is within walking distance of Gillingham mainline station, local schools (including an Outstanding primary) and the town centre’s shops and services. Freehold tenure and low local crime add reassurance for family buyers. Viewings are recommended for buyers seeking a spacious, characterful home with straightforward potential to improve and personalise.
