Summary - BAY FORD HOUSE BAY ROAD GILLINGHAM SP8 4EF
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Large family home with garden, renewables and easy access to the mainline station.
Five double bedrooms across three floors, including top-floor suite
Set back from Bay Road, this substantial five-bedroom detached house suits an extended or growing family who need space, outdoor life and good transport links. Built in 2004, the home spreads over three floors with large reception rooms, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room and flexible bedroom accommodation including a top-floor suite. Practical features include uPVC double glazing and modern renewable systems (PV panels with battery, solar thermal and an air-source heat pump) that help reduce running costs.
The generous, enclosed rear garden is low-maintenance, with fruit trees, vegetable patches, a pond, deck and two sheds — excellent for children and summer entertaining. Off-street parking for several cars is available on the gravel drive; parking is shared between two households and accessed via front gates. The property is within easy reach of local shops, countryside walks and the mainline station (London/Waterloo–Exeter), making weekday commuting and weekend excursions straightforward.
Buyers should note material points: the council tax is above average (Band E), there is a medium flood risk for the area, and some services/fittings have not been tested. The shared drive means parking manoeuvres require co-ordination with the neighbouring household. Overall, the house offers a mix of comfortable family living, good energy credentials and scope to adapt rooms to changing household needs.
This home will appeal to families prioritising space, outdoor garden living and strong transport links, while those sensitive to flood risk or seeking fully private vehicular access should factor these into their decision.
