Summary - SOMERLEY MADJESTON GILLINGHAM SP8 5JH
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Large grounds, annexe and far-reaching views ideal for growing families.
Reclaimed stone family house with generous, light rooms
A substantial, well-built family home set in the Blackmore Vale with far-reaching country views and versatile outbuildings. The main house, constructed from reclaimed local stone in 1990, offers generous, light-filled rooms, engineered oak floors and a principal bedroom with a private roof terrace. A south-facing, self-contained annexe with separate living space, plus a double garage and workshop, provides family flexibility or reliable rental income.
The property sits on approximately 3.4 acres combining formal garden, extensive parking and a three-acre paddock with orchard and field shelter. Practical features include solar panels, double glazing and an oil-fired boiler serving radiators; mobile signal is excellent, and there is no flood risk. The house enjoys privacy from a quiet lane yet is only a mile from Gillingham’s shops, services and rail links.
Notable drawbacks are slow fixed broadband and oil heating reliance, plus an expensive council tax band. The outbuildings and paddock are well-proportioned but may need routine maintenance; the garage loft offers potential but will require adaptation for full-time use. Overall this is a spacious rural family property with clear scope for multigenerational living or income generation from the annexe.
