Bedes Meadow is a distinctive 1930s detached home set in private, established grounds of about one-third of an acre. The main house offers roomy, well-proportioned living spaces centred on a large dual-aspect kitchen/dining room and a living room with an inset woodburner, while a self-contained one-bedroom annexe provides flexible space for guests, multi-generational living or rental income. Outbuildings include a detached double garage, oak-framed car port and workshop, with an optional paddock and stables available for equestrian use.
Practical running costs are partially offset by photovoltaic panels and solar hot water (approximate annual return c. £500), and the annexe has independent LPG heating. Primary heating to the main house is oil-fired via boiler and radiators with a solid fuel Rayburn in use. The property is offered chain free and sits in a peaceful hamlet close to Gillingham with easy road links (A303/A30).
Buyers should note the house’s age and construction: solid brick walls (original build) with no known cavity insulation and older services in places, presenting both maintenance considerations and potential for improvement or energy-efficiency upgrades. Broadband and mobile coverage vary locally — FTTP is listed as available (up to 50/8 Mbps) but performance can be inconsistent in remoter communities. Council Tax is Band E.
This home will suit families, those wanting multigenerational living or countryside buyers seeking equestrian potential. It offers immediate liveability with scope to modernise, improve energy performance and capitalise on the annexe or the paddock for income or lifestyle use.
