A fabulous chance to purchase a truly versatile chalet style home with three/four double bedrooms, presented to the market with the advantage of no onward chain and enjoying a lane side position with views from the first floor over fields to the front and Duncliffe Woods to the rear. The property is within walking distance to the village hall, which hosts a variety of events and the 'Crown' Inn, which has accommodation and serves food. Not far away is the popular Udder farm shop with restaurant and just a short drive away is the town of Gillingham with mainline train station and sought after high school, which falls within the catchment area for the property. The property has been a much loved and enjoyed home to our seller for the last ten years. During this time it has been well cared for and improved with new individually controlled electric radiators, the hot water cylinder has been replaced with an efficient and economical 'Aquafficient ' instant hot heater, a multi fuel stove has been installed in the sitting room and sixteen wholly owned solar panels have been fitted, which help reduce costs and provides a quarterly income. The kitchen in currently in the process of being updated with new unit doors, the shower room has recently been updated and the garden has been landscaped to provide a low maintenance space. The property offers plenty of scope as to how all rooms are used with a first floor space that is ideal for a teenagers den and bedroom with its own bathroom or lends itself as bedroom and study space. The property still provides scope to mark to ones own taste, as and when required. A viewing is an absolute must to truly appreciate what it has to offer and how it would meet many buyers' needs - from those looking for family home with older children, a downsize for active retirees or great as a lock up and leave UK base.
