Summary - PEACE COTTAGE PEACEMARSH GILLINGHAM SP8 4HD
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Large secluded cottage with over 0.5 acre garden and development potential STPP.
Detached four-bedroom thatched cottage with classic inglenook fireplaces
Peace Cottage is a large, detached four-bedroom thatched cottage set at the end of a private lane, offering classic period character with modern comforts. Ground-floor living centres around two cosy reception rooms with inglenook fireplaces, a conservatory and a substantial kitchen/breakfast room with island — ideal for family life and entertaining. The property benefits from double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity.
Outdoors, the very large private garden extends to over half an acre and wraps around the house, providing plenty of play space, vegetable plots or a potential building plot subject to planning permission (STPP). The long driveway provides off-street parking for numerous vehicles. The cottage sits close to countryside walks yet remains within walking distance of the town centre and local amenities.
Practical considerations: the house is of solid brick construction and was built before 1900, so it is likely to lack cavity wall insulation; the thatched roof and older fabric will require ongoing specialist maintenance and associated costs. Council Tax is in Band F and therefore relatively expensive. Some rooms have low ceilings and the layout spans multiple floors, which may be less suitable for those needing single-level living.
This home will suit a family who values period charm, outdoor space and rural access, or a buyer seeking a property with scope for sympathetic improvement and possible development value (STPP). No onward chain offers a quicker move for the successful purchaser.
