About Gillingham
Gillingham gives you the best of both worlds — village feel with proper connections. You've got your own railway station on the Exeter to London Waterloo line and straightforward access via the A303, so balancing work and home life is genuinely manageable.
House prices here sit well below neighbouring neighbourhoods, particularly for flats and terraces, which makes a real difference to your budget. Crime rates run at less than half the UK average, so families get genuine peace of mind.
The schools are solid too. You'll find good primary options and a well-rated secondary, backed up by strong everyday amenities like supermarkets, pharmacies, and ten pubs. The Blackmore Vale countryside surrounding the town means clean air and a milder climate you can enjoy all year round.
