Set on a quiet cul‑de‑sac in Gillingham, this four‑bedroom chalet bungalow combines adaptable family living with a generous rear garden and off‑street parking. The ground‑floor bedroom and conservatory provide flexible accommodation suited to multi‑generational households, home‑working or a playroom for young children. Large windows and double glazing keep rooms bright and comfortable, while gas central heating serves the house via a boiler and radiators.
The property’s main living spaces include a sitting room with fireplace, a separate dining room, and a practical fitted kitchen with a range cooker. Upstairs offers three further bedrooms and a shower room, giving good separation between family and private zones. The well‑established rear garden offers depth and privacy, ideal for outdoor play and summer entertaining; a sheltered carport and concrete driveway provide multiple parking spaces.
Buyers should note this mid‑century home dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and shows typical features of that era. The cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation and the EPC is rated D, so there’s scope (and likely cost) for energy‑efficiency improvements. Interiors are serviceable but could benefit from cosmetic updating to modernise finishes and maximise value.
Overall, this is a comfortable, practical family home in a very affluent and low‑crime area, close to good schools, rail links and country walks. It will particularly suit buyers seeking adaptable accommodation in a peaceful suburban setting and those willing to invest modestly to upgrade energy performance and décor.
