Description

A picturesque cottage boasting charming and versatile accommodation and sitting within 1.79 acres including a paddock.


Eccliffe Cottage is situated in a quiet, semi-rural location down towards the end of a no-through road, but just a short distance from the bustling town of Gillingham. The cottage itself has a attractive front facade constructed of stone and brick and has been extended to the rear, over the years, to now provide flexible and well-appointed accommodation over two floors. The ground floor comprises entrance porch and two equally proportioned reception rooms over-looking the front garden. Both the sitting room and family room benefit from exposed brick fireplaces and wood burning stoves. The internal hallway includes stairs to the first floor and access to a study/music room, with downstairs cloakroom attached, and the kitchen/dining room. The dining area is slightly elevated and offers French doors directly to the rear garden along with a door to the utility. The kitchen space makes use of another exposed brick fireplace and houses some built-in white goods, floor units and a large pantry. Five well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the first floor off a light and airy landing and all bedrooms share the main family shower room.

SITUATION
Eccliffe Cottage is located towards the end of a 'no-through' country lane with south facing views across water meadows to the River Stour and the hamlet of Eccliffe. The hamlet is ideally situated for convenient access into the centre of Gillingham. The Town itself offers services to cater for most everyday requirements including Waitrose, Asda and Lidl supermarkets, pharmacy, bank, post office, doctors’ surgery, pubs and cafes. Gillingham enjoys a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo (2 Hours) and the West Country and is located just 4 miles from the A303 giving road access to the South West and London via the M3, whilst the A350 provides access to the coast. For more diverse shopping and hospitals, the towns of Yeovil and Salisbury are 30 – 45 minutes by car. The area offers a number of highly regarded state and independent primary and secondary schools and numerous leisure activities are on offer at the local leisure centre as well as golf, horse riding, cycling rugby and football clubs in the vicinity. There are lovely countryside walks and places of interest to visit right on the doorstep.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached from a quiet lane over a large tarmacadam apron and through a wooden gate onto a long driveway that extends to the rear of the property, all together providing extensive parking. The front and rear gardens have been laid to lawn and are enclosed with mature trees and hedges on both sides. The garden is a haven for wildlife with a plethora of flora and fauna, and ideal for children to play and explore in. A large barn is located approximately halfway along the garden and has the scope to be regenerated, to fit a range of different uses. The adjacent paddock extends to 1 acre and runs alongside the property and benefits from its own access from the lane.
