Within the grounds of Wyke Hall, a striking 14th Century Grade II Listed manor house and reputedly built as a hunting lodge for King Edward III, The Cottage House is an attractive attached house with colour washed rendered elevations under a pitched clay tile roof.

Both the sitting room and dining room are well proportioned rooms, while upstairs there are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and a family shower room. In addition, The Cottage House has a private garage and use of the communal grounds which amount to approximately six acres of parkland interspersed with a magnificent selection of mature trees, along with use of the shared tennis court and swimming pool.

Service Charge: Current £2,200 per annum to include the maintenance of the grounds, swimming pool and tennis court. There is an additional charge of approximately £900 per annum which covers building insurance, garage rent and window cleaning.
The property is approached from the road over a sweeping drive leading to the front of the Wyke Hall. The Cottage House is on the right of the main building. Continuing past Wyke Hall there is a car parking area and four garages, one of which is for the exclusive use of The Cottage House. The property is approached through an attractive brick and partly walled courtyard to the front door. At the rear there is small garden bordered by laurel hedging with a stone terrace and lawned area alongside. There are two timber garden sheds by the swimming pool which belong to the property.
The Cottage House is situated in the hamlet of Wyke on the western outskirts of Gillingham, which has facilities for most everyday needs, including a range of shops, restaurants, Waitrose, banks, a sports centre, doctors and dentists surgeries, library, schools and churches and a mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo. The A303 lies about 4 miles to the north giving access to the south west and London, via the M3. For more sophisticated requirements there is the cathedral city of Salisbury to the east, the Georgian Spa town of Bath to the north.
