3 bed cottage for sale

Railway Terrace, Gillingham SP8

A charming mid-terrace cottage offering character features, generous proportions and an impressive garden, all within easy reach of Gillingham town centre and the mainline train station. Tucked away and set back, the property enjoys a surprisingly private feel despite its highly convenient location. The property is believed to have originally been a railway workers cottage, dating to the 1870s.

Inside, the home blends cottage charm with practical family living, with exposed brickwork, beams and a wood burner adding warmth and personality. The spacious open plan kitchen/dining area creates a fantastic social hub, ideal for everyday living and entertaining, while upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, along with a useful loft conversion that offers excellent additional space and flexibility. This space could be used as a principle bedroom.

Having been well cared for during the current ownership of five years, with improvements including repainting the kitchen and new handles, the property is ready to move into while still offering scope for personal touches.

Outside, the larger-than-average rear garden is a real highlight - generous, enclosed and not overlooked, providing excellent outdoor space for families, gardening enthusiasts or those simply seeking room to relax. With the added benefit of off-road parking, this is a cottage that combines character, practicality and convenience in equal measure.

Accomodation

Inside

The ground floor opens into a welcoming sitting room full of charm, featuring exposed beams and a brick fireplace with wood burner, creating a cosy yet spacious feel.

To the rear, the open plan kitchen/diner provides a fantastic social space. The cottage-style kitchen is fitted with wood units and wooden worktops, offering plenty of storage and workspace. There are no built-in appliances, allowing flexibility for buyers to install their own preferences. The space flows naturally into the dining area, making it ideal for family meals and entertaining.

From the kitchen, a bright utility area provides practical additional storage and laundry space, with direct access to the rear garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom, along with the family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the loft conversion, currently used as storage but offering excellent versatility and potential for use as a bedroom, home office or hobby space (subject to any necessary consents).

Outside

The rear garden is larger than typically found in the area and enjoys a good degree of privacy, being enclosed and not overlooked from the rear. Laid mainly to lawn with patio areas for seating, it offers plenty of practical outdoor space. A new shed provides additional storage, and there is ample room for play, gardening or entertaining.

To the front, the property benefits from off-road parking - a valuable feature so close to the town centre.
