3 Bedroom Detached for sale

Property description

A fabulous opportunity to purchase this Grade II Listed detached three bedroom cottage set in grounds of three quarters of an acre. One would expect to find a property of this stature in a rural idyll but in fact this property brings the rural idyll to the heart of Gillingham. Rarely is one able to describe a property as having a 'secret garden' but Chantry Cottage is an oasis amongst the hubbub of this thriving community. It sits within a level stroll of the High Street with a level of privacy unparrelled in such an urban environment. The property is presented in good order but could benefit from enhancement and is waiting for its new owner to put their own stamp on it. The gardens that surround the house are wonderful, extensive and mature, with neat lawns, an abundance of trees, flowers, shrubs and a pond, as a haven for the birds, butterflies and bees that inhabit true English Cottage Gardens. The kingfisher or water vole visit the River Lodden nearby. There is a veranda, productive vegetable garden, a large glass house, a smaller glass house, a chicken coop, soft fruit cage, a large and smaller shed. The property is approached over a footbridge at the front or at the side, via a footpath. Parking is in a small lane, by the footbridge leading to the cottage. The vendor has planning permission to create off street parking within the property, which is partially implemented.

Properties such as this are very rare and we thoroughly recommend an internal inspection to see the cottage and particularly the absolutely beautiful gardens.

Situation
Gillingham offers a wide range of services and shops to cater for most everyday requirements. These include a Waitrose superstore which is within a short level walk of the cottage as are doctors, dentists, pharmacies and the train station. The property is within the catchment of Gillingham School (rated Good by Ofsted 2012) which is an outstanding and highly sought after mixed comprehensive school and there are some of the county's most prestigious private schools nearby including Port Regis, St Marys, Sandroyd & Clayesmore. The communication links are excellent, with the A303 to the north and a mainline railway station providing services to London Waterloo (2 hours) and the south west.
