Silverthorne House, Gillingham

SILVERTHORNE HOUSE is a large detached

Victorian dwelling C1800. Built of local stone and

brick with characteristic elevations under a clay tiled

roof that provides versatile and adaptable living

accommodation arranged over two floors, creating a

deceptively spacious and comfortable character home.

The house has been improved and well maintained by

the present owners and benefits from UPVC double

glazing, gas central heating and a fabulous fitted

kitchen whilst retaining many character features and

details including antique pine period doors, exposed

beams and cosy stone fireplaces with wood burning

stove.

Some areas of the house offer scope and potential to

further improve by way of cosmetic redecoration.

The house enjoys a convenient location close to the

bustling town centre with its good range of local

shops, supermarkets, doctor and dentist surgeries,

public houses, restaurants and churches, schools, bus

stops and mainline railway station.

ample parking and garage, an early viewing is highly

recommended to secure this desirable property.
