Common Mead Lane, Gillingham


Description
A great chance to purchase a spacious detached family home offering totally flexible accommodation with three/four good sized bedrooms, situated where town and country merge and boasting a most splendid view over the adjoining countryside to Duncliffe Woods in the distance. The property is on the popular and sought after Wyke area of the town, close to some wonderful country and woodland walks and within walking distance to local facilities, which include a pet shop and One Stop with post office. The town centre and mainline train station are a little further on. The original part of the property dates to the 1960s with historic additions to either side, which have provided additional versatile living and storage space. Over the last two years, this lovely home has benefitted from a programme of improvements, which has included plumbing and electrical work, a re-configuration on the first floor, which has made the layout much easier to use and has created a family shower room, which is fitted with contemporary and stylish fittings. Nearly all rooms have been re-decorated and new flooring laid. The external space has also benefitted from landscaping and offers the choice for one's own design. The property retains features such as, internal doors in a 1930s style that were popular in the 1960s, picture rails and fireplaces and provides multi-functional accommodation, which is wheelchair friendly and can be adapted for ground floor sleeping and bathing by using the reception room and wet room. A viewing is absolutely essential to really appreciate what this home has to offer and how it will satisfy many potential buyers' needs. An early viewing is strongly suggested to avoid missing out on the opportunity to be the next owner.
