The North Dorset town of Gillingham offers the amenities of a major town, while retaining all the charm of rural Dorset. The town has a wide range of facilities, including Waitrose & Asda superstores, a doctor’s surgery, dental practice, pharmacies, local shops, boutiques and a well-connected railway station. Gillingham School is a highly sought after mixed comprehensive and there are several independent schools nearby including Port Regis, Sandroyd and Clayesmore. The communication links are excellent: the A303 runs north of the town and a mainline railway station provides services to London Waterloo (2 hours) and the south west.

A well presented and spacious four bedroom attached cottage located on the outskirts of Gillingham. The property is believed to date back to the mid-1850s and retaining some character but offering spacious and modern living throughout. The property is entered into a spacious reception hall, with a door into a large sitting room with a focal fireplace. An archway leads into the generous dining room which is open to the recently replaced kitchen, offering modern units. Accessed from the dining room is a downstairs bedroom with a shower room attached, which offers potential to be used as a home office or further reception room. At the rear of the property is an attractive garden room with bi-fold doors opening onto the rear garden. Upstairs, there are three good sized bedrooms. The main bedroom is a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and the second bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom offering a modern suite, with a separate shower cubicle and a clawfoot bath.

The rear garden is a spacious plot, which is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area adjacent the cottage.
