Church Hill, Buckhorn Weston, Gillingham

A large detached family house, built from traditional stone some 20 years ago, in a good village, with its own land, including a pond and stables of approximately 3.42 acres in all.

The Dwelling - Rookside is a well presented and spacious detached house atop Buckhorn Weston. Built some 20 years ago, it offers many an Eco feature, a brilliant family kitchen / sitting / dining room the full width of the rear of the house. A formal sitting room has an open Jetmaster fireplace. There is a highly practical, large utility / boot room with a door to the side of the house.

The first floor has four comfortable sized bedrooms with a vast top floor bedroom suite.

Without doubt the combination of a house with its own land accessed direct from the house is highly enticing. The stables are situated a little down the hill thereby giving unrestricted views over the vale to the South East. Beyond the stables is a nature area with a spring fed pond. Further land has been acquired recently bringing it back into Rookside's ownership.

Accommodation - See Floor Plan. Includes House & Stables. Paddocks. In all 3.42 acres.
