Gillingham, Dorset

A beautifully presented three-bedroom detached bungalow set in the popular Wyke area, on the western edge of Gillingham.

The current owners have thoughtfully updated the property over the years, replacing the kitchen and bathroom, creating a modern wet room, renewing the boiler, and updating the flooring throughout, making it a comfortable, well-finished home that’s ready to move straight into.

The property is approached via a smart front garden, leading to a very useful PORCH with double glazed leaded front door, double glazed windows to either side, and a tiled floor. A spacious and welcoming HALLWAY with engineered flooring provides an excellent first impression. The SITTING ROOM is bright and generous, with two large windows and there’s more than enough room for comfortable seating and a dining table, perfect for gatherings with friends or family. The multifuel stove, set in a stone surround, adds warmth and character, making it the ideal spot to enjoy colder evenings.

The KITCHEN BREAKFAST ROOM is light and practical, with a lovely view over the back garden. It’s well planned, with plenty of storage and workspace, along with integrated appliances including an oven, grill, gas hob, and space for a fridge. There’s also space for a small dining table, a great place to enjoy breakfast and informal meals.

Just off the kitchen is the UTILITY ROOM, a very useful area for extra appliances and storage. There’s space for a fridge/freezer, an additional fridge, and plumbing for a washing machine. A side door opens directly to the garden.

The hallway continues to the bedroom area, which includes a useful storage cupboard. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a bright double room with a fitted wardrobe and a large window overlooking the garden. BEDROOM TWO is a spacious double with a built-in wardrobe. BEDROOM THREE is currently used as a study but could easily be a guest room, hobby space, or smaller double.

From the third bedroom, double glazed doors open into the CONSERVATORY which catches the sun beautifully and offers a relaxing view of the garden. The current owners use it as a creative studio, but it would also make a lovely spot for reading, plants, or simply enjoying the warmth and light.

The family SHOWER ROOM is modern and bright, with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, and W.C. There’s also a separate WET ROOM, which has been cleverly designed to include an additional shower & W.C. for extra convenience.
