Tucked away in the popular Bay area of Gillingham, this detached four-bedroom period cottage combines original character with spacious family living. The house retains exposed beams, two feature fireplaces with log burners and a traditional stone chimney, while offering generous front and rear gardens and driveway parking. Its location is convenient for local shops, schools and the town centre, with easy access to countryside walks and transport links.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a modern-style kitchen, dining room, lounge, snug/study and ground-floor shower room. Upstairs are three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a single fourth bedroom and a family bathroom. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for buyers seeking a faster move-in process.
The cottage needs renovation and modernisation in places: upgrades to interiors and services should be expected, and some rooms have lower ceiling heights. Built before 1900 with cob walls and timber double glazing of unknown age, it will require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic restoration to preserve period fabric. Energy performance is D and council tax sits above average.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk for the area; professional advice and appropriate insurance will be needed. This house will suit families wanting character and space who are prepared to invest time and budget into renovation, or buyers seeking a substantial period home close to town and countryside.
