New Road, Gillingham

Offered with No Onward Chain, this charming three-bedroom character home sits on a good sized plot just a stone’s throw from Gillingham’s mainline railway station. Highlights include an impressive double height entrance hall, original fireplaces and doors, a newly fitted bathroom and a brick outhouse with electricity. It is set within a conservation area, close to the town centre, shops and local schools, which makes it a superb town location.

Built in 1914 of traditional red Gillingham brick as one of a pair of workers’ houses, the property has had various repairs and redecoration since the current owner bought it around three years ago. Downstairs there is a porch, an entrance hall, a light-filled sitting room with a feature fireplace and a kitchen dining room, both with exposed pine flooring. A lobby off the kitchen leads to the bathroom and a separate cloakroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of them doubles. Outside, there is a lawned front garden and a private rear patio.

New Road enjoys a convenient position within Gillingham, close to the town centre and its range of amenities, as well as local schools. The mainline railway station is just moments away, with services to London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids, which makes the location particularly convenient for commuters and those needing wider transport links.
