Over 1,700 sq ft of Edwardian character and high ceilings
Set on tree-lined Park Avenue, this handsome Edwardian semi delivers more than 1,700 sq ft of family-focused living across well-proportioned rooms and retained period detail. High ceilings, sash bay windows, picture rails and original cornicing give the principal spaces a bright, airy feel, while a large 16'10" principal bedroom and three further bedrooms provide flexible family accommodation.
The ground floor centres on sociable living: a formal dining room with a feature fireplace, a rear sitting room that opens to the private garden, and a kitchen fitted around an Aga with underfloor heating and an adjacent utility room with side access. The converted cellar, currently a cinema and bar, is a distinctive entertainment space that extends the home’s usable footprint and suits regular hosting or relaxed family movie nights. Off-street parking for one car adds practical convenience.
Location strengths are genuine: immediate access to Great Lines Heritage Park, nearby Medway Park sports facilities, and a short walk to Gillingham station for commuter links. Local shops, cafés and a mix of state schools are within easy reach, though buyers should note some nearby primary and secondary schools currently have mixed Ofsted outcomes.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. The property has an EPC rating of D (65) and a moderate council tax band D, and sits in an area with higher-than-average recorded crime — factors buyers should weigh alongside the house’s generous space and character. Freehold tenure and a decent plot with side access make this a flexible family home with scope to personalise rather than a move-in-without-change proposition.
