Seller Insight It was the size and location which first drew us to the property,” says the current owner of 14 Medway Road in Gillingham, Kent, “with easy commuter links to London and plenty of space for our growing family. Then, upon visiting the house, we fell for its Georgian charm: the house boasts period features both indoors and out, from arched windows on the façade to a beautiful tiled fireplace in the dining room.” Since moving in, the owner has made various improvements to the property. “We began with an interior renovation project, making sure to retain the period features we had fallen in love with,” they say. “Then we added a modern extension which opens out from the dining room via oak church doors to create a lovely flow between old and new. This space has become the hub of family life and entertaining alike, giving us the versatility to host dinner parties in one room while the children play next door. The fireplace in the dining room creates a cosy atmosphere for Christmas gatherings, while the new extension is beautifully bright and airy all year round. Further, there is plenty of scope for further remodelling to the house – the four room basement could be converted into anything from a games room and home gym, to additional bedrooms or a self-contained annex for elderly relatives or paying tenants.” Outside, the garden is just as versatile as the house itself. “We have relandscaped the outdoor space into tiered zones,” the owners say, “including a patio area for barbecues, a lawn area, and another, raised patio for quiet relaxation. The garden is wonderfully low maintenance, and has been designed to include beds which the next owners could plant with their choice of flowers, shrubs or even vegetables. At the top of the garden there is rear access, with potential for off-road parking or a garage to be added, and the infrastructure for electric car points to be installed.” The location of the property has much to recommend it, too. “Medway Road enjoys a convenient location between Gillingham and Chatham,” says the owner, “with high speed rail links into London and the South Coast from Gillingham’s mainline train station, and access to the M2 and M25 via Medway Tunnel. Along with schools for children of all ages, there are Asda and Lidl supermarkets very nearby, and an array of shops and amenities in the town centre within easy walking distance. Nature is always close at hand, too: the property overlooks a conservation area and park.”*
