Description
A charming two bedroom barn conversion, situated in a private courtyard on the outskirts of Gillingham.
The Property
A well presented two bedroom barn conversion, situated on the outskirts of Gillingham, set within it's own courtyard. The property offers a mix of character features and modern fittings, and is offered for sale with no forward chain.
The property is entered into the open plan kitchen/living area, which is a spacious room, with windows to the front skylights to the rear providing plenty of natural light. To the right of the living area is the second bedroom which is a good sized double. On the opposite side of the living area is an internal hallway giving access to the modern shower room, and the main bedroom which benefits from fitted wardrobes.
Outside
The property is approached by a gated driveway opening into an attractive courtyard. There is ample parking which is laid to gravel, with an area laid to lawn with a well in front of the property. The garden is enclosed by a walled surround creating a private outside space.
Location
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.
