About
Set on Cleave Road in Upper Gillingham, this beautifully presented bay-fronted semi offers approximately 1,056sq ft of house space, rising to approximately 1,439sq ft in total when the detached garage and substantial outbuildings are included.
For buyers wanting character, versatility and a home that feels ready to enjoy from day one, this is a brilliant opportunity.
From the front, the house has the kind of kerb appeal that is getting harder to find - an attractive traditional facade, driveway parking, and the timeless proportions you would expect from an older-style home.
Step inside and that sense of character continues, with high ceilings, generous room proportions and a layout that feels both warm and practical.
The bay-fronted reception room is a lovely place to relax, centred around a log burning fire for a cosier feel in the colder months, while the open plan dining and modern fitted kitchen offers excellent everyday space and opens through to the conservatory, creating a natural link between the house and garden.
There is also the added convenience of a ground floor cloakroom, which always makes a real difference in family life.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms and a smart family bathroom with separate shower cubicle and bath, with the overall presentation suggesting a home that has been cared for and improved, rather than one a buyer will feel they need to immediately take apart and start again.
It is the kind of house that lets you settle in, unpack and then enjoy. Where this home really starts to separate itself from others in the price range is outside.
The rear garden is private, established and far more useful than first impressions might suggest, with a detached garage measuring approximately 19ft x 8' that is ideal for storage, bikes, hobby space or keeping the practical side of life tucked away.
Beyond that, the outbuilding adds another layer of flexibility altogether, with a secure garden room of around 12' x 10', plus its own wood shed and separate garden/tool shed.
Whether used as a garden retreat, entertaining space, hobby room, work-from-home base or a tucked-away bar area for hosting friends, it gives this house an extra lifestyle element that so many buyers are looking for but so few properties genuinely provide.
The location is another big part of the appeal.
Cleave Road sits well for day-to-day convenience, with Gillingham Park nearby offering mature green space, walks and play facilities, while Gillingham station provides regular rail connections and commuter convenience.
The property is also well placed for Medway Maritime Hospital, the town centre and high street amenities, and for a wider retail and dining choice, Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre is within easy reach by road.
Families will also appreciate that there are schools in the wider area including Napier Primary Academy and Brompton Academy. This is a home that offers much more than just three bedrooms.
It gives you charm, driveway parking, strong presentation, useful ceiling height and proportions, a detached garage, and an outbuilding setup that adds real flexibility and fun.
In a market where many homes can feel similar, this one has a personality and lifestyle edge that stands out.
