House For Sale £300,000
Dolphin Lane, Gillingham

*MOTIVATED VENDORS*VENDORS SUITED*A fabulous opportunity to purchase a delightful detached stone cottage with three double bedrooms, boasting a quiet location towards the end of a no through lane and close to some wonderful country and river side walks. The cottage is within walking distance to local facilities, which includes a public house serving food, doctor and dentist surgery plus pharmacy, Coop store, hairdressers and fish and chip shop. The town centre is about a mile away as is the mainline train station. We believe that the property dates to the mid 1800s and thought to have been the barn for Peacemarsh Farm. In more recent years the property has been converted and extended into a characterful cottage, which perfectly marries old world charm with contemporary expectation. This wonderful property has been the very much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers for the last five years, during this time the cottage has been extremely well maintained and improved with a new oak front door and new oak veneered internal doors, new carpeting to the first floor rooms and a modern, stylish bathroom suite has been fitted. In addition, the cottage has benefitted from a re-decoration. The property also benefits from gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazed windows. This property must be viewed to really appreciate what it has to offer and how it will easily meet the needs of many potential buyers.
