3 Bedroom Detached House

This beautifully extended three-bedroom semi-detached home has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners to create a stylish, flexible and wonderfully sociable place to live. With approximately 1,235 sq ft of accommodation, a west-facing rear garden and a layout designed around modern family life, it is a home that feels both practical and full of personality from the moment you step inside.

The entrance hallway gives a welcoming first impression, leading through to a separate front reception room, currently arranged as a study. It is a brilliant space for home working, music, hobbies or quiet reading, while its proportions also make it a natural cosy lounge, playroom or even a ground floor bedroom for those needing extra flexibility.

To the rear, the house opens out into its real centrepiece, an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room created as part of the extension. This is the room where day-to-day life naturally gathers, with a sleek contemporary kitchen, generous worktop space, integrated appliances and a sociable flow into the dining and living areas. Rooflights draw sunlight down into the space, while wide glazed doors connect the family room with the garden, making summer entertaining feel effortless and everyday family living feel bright and open. Whether it is coffee at the breakfast bar, dinner with friends, children spreading out after school or relaxed evenings on the sofa, this room has been designed to handle it all with ease.

The finish throughout is modern and distinctive, with wood-effect flooring, contemporary radiators, recessed lighting and a confident use of colour and texture giving the home a polished, individual feel. Practicality has not been forgotten either, with a separate utility room tucked off the kitchen area, offering excellent storage and laundry space, alongside a smart downstairs WC finished with bold green tiling and dark cabinetry.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering a comfortable retreat from the busier living spaces below. The main bedroom feels calm and stylish, with a striking feature wall and space for wardrobes, while the additional bedrooms are ideal for children, guests or further home-working arrangements. The family bathroom has been finished in a crisp, contemporary style, with white metro tiling, black detailing, a bath with shower over, sleek vanity storage and a fresh, modern feel.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden measures approximately 35 ft by 30 ft, giving a lovely balance of decked seating, lawn and planting. It is a garden made for late afternoon sun, weekend barbecues and relaxed evenings outdoors, with plenty of room for children to play and space for outdoor furniture. Side access adds everyday convenience, particularly for bikes, bins and garden equipment.

Eastcourt Lane is a superb choice for buyers wanting a well-connected family setting. The property is ideally placed for those looking within local school catchment areas, while nearby amenities, shops and transport links make daily life straightforward. Gillingham High Street station is approximately 1.7 miles away, adding further appeal for commuters and those wanting easy access beyond the local area.

This is a home that offers far more than a standard three-bedroom layout. With its extended living space, flexible front room, modern finish, utility, downstairs WC and sunny west-facing garden, it is ready for buyers who want comfort, style and a home that works beautifully for busy modern living.

What The Owners Say...

"Having owned this home for 28 years, it has been a difficult decision to move on. It is a house that has adapted with us over the years and one we have thoroughly enjoyed living in.

The open-plan living space has always been at the heart of the home, making it equally suited to everyday life and entertaining family and friends. The south-facing garden is another real highlight. It enjoys the sun throughout the day and, being so well sheltered, often feels noticeably warmer than elsewhere, making it a wonderful place to spend time from early spring through to autumn. 

We hope the next owners enjoy this home as much as we have."
