Full Description
Elmcroft, bay road, gillingham SP8 4EW
A substantial contemporary family home in an excellent location, offering fabulous views and easy access to Gillingham town centre.
The property features stylish, elegant interiors with well-balanced accommodation including a reception hall, dining and living room, kitchen breakfast room, office, a fully self-contained ground floor annexe, utility room, five double bedrooms, and three bath/shower rooms.
Beautifully maintained gardens lie to both the front and rear, along with ample parking and a garage with an EV charging point.
About the Area
The property is situated on the north eastern side of Gillingham in a highly convenient yet quiet semi-rural setting, with close access to local amenities. Gillingham benefits from a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo and the South West. Road links include the A303 a few miles to the north. The town offers a range of shops and services, including Waitrose, and there is an excellent selection of both state and independent schools nearby.
Accommodation
Elmcroft is an expansive family home extending to over 3,800 sq. Ft. In the main house. The integral annexe provides an excellent opportunity for income generation or multi-generational living.
Originally built in the 1970s and significantly extended and transformed in 2013, the property now presents as a large, high-quality home. It features part-rendered and part-clad elevations beneath a slate tiled roof. A striking south-easterly facing gable with full-height glazing frames the front entrance, leading into a spacious reception hall with slate flooring, a drinks cupboard, coat storage, and an elegant staircase rising to a galleried landing.
The slate flooring continues through to the kitchen breakfast room, which connects seamlessly to the living and dining areas in an open-plan layout. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, enhancing comfort throughout. The kitchen includes a large central island with wooden work surface, granite worktops, integrated full-height fridge and freezer, gas range cooker, wine cooler, and sink with mixer tap. Two large Velux windows flood the space with natural light, and the kitchen enjoys attractive views over the garden and surrounding fields. A utility room and adjoining W.C. Sit just off the kitchen, with direct access to the garden.
The open-plan living and dining space centres around a dual-aspect multi-fuel stove. Bi-fold doors from the dining area open onto a sunny terrace, ideal for indoor-outdoor living.
The self-contained ground floor annexe includes a modern kitchen breakfast room, sitting room, double bedroom, and bathroom, along with access to a private garden area-ideal for guests or independent living.
Upstairs, a bespoke staircase leads to a spacious galleried landing with a reading area and views through the glazed gable. There are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom features a private balcony, built-in wardrobes, and a contemporary en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms all include built-in storage, with two sharing a Jack-and-Jill shower room and the others served by a family bathroom with roll-top bath, dual basin vanity, and W.C.
Outside
A gated driveway leads to a generous gravel parking area and garage with barn-style doors and an adjoining bike store. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging, offering excellent privacy, along with a sunny south-facing patio.
The rear garden is also laid to lawn with mature trees, including silver birch and beech, and backs onto attractive meadowland. A recently upgraded terrace sits directly outside the dining area and includes an outdoor kitchen with sink and BBQ area, along with ample space for entertaining
