Bay Road, Gillingham, Dorset, SP8

An attractive end terrace Edwardian town house full of period charm with spacious living accommodation spread over three floors.


This impressive property has been greatly improved and extended over the years to create a wonderful family home combining modern day living with character features.

A welcoming entrance hall leads into a charming sitting room, where a multi-fuel stove creates a warm and inviting focal point. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/dining room, designed to offer a sociable space for everyday family life, and a dedicated space for dining and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is useful utility room and cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a spacious landing, two double bedrooms, and a stylish family bathroom complete with a modern freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower. The top floor is home to a characterful master bedroom with the added benefit of an en-suite shower room.

Outside, the garden is a particular feature being of a generous size with the tranquil backdrop of a river running alongside the rear boundary. There is a large expanse of lawn interspersed with mature shrubs, trees and flowers providing colour and interest throughout the year. An area of loose stones with raised beds offers the opportunity to grow your own vegetables, whilst a paved patio provided the perfect spot to sit and relax after a busy day. To the far end of the garden there is a summerhouse with a gate to one side giving access to the parking area with plenty of space for three cars.

This delightful home occupies a convenient edge-of-town location in a desirable and well-established residential area. It is within walking distance of High Street, mainline railway station, local schools, shops, and scenic walks—making it a truly special opportunity for families and professionals alike.
