GUIDE PRICE £1,100,000 - £1,200,000
On driving down the private road you will find this elegant four bedroom late 1950's period detached house situated in a prime elevated position and is within the boundaries of a new gated cul de sac development. This home has been stripped back, remodelled and extensively refurbished throughout to a high standard specification for modern day living, and whilst great care has been taken to preserve authentic features and the original character of the property, the modernisation gives rise to an adaptable living space in what is an impressive family home. The double undercroft garage has a versatile integral adjoining office/gym with shower room facilities which is ideal for those people now working from home but lends itself to additional uses and is an ideal quiet space to add to an already desirable property. This existing property blends into the adjacent three new homes and has all the detailing benefits of a new build finish but the charm of home of its period. This sympathetically enhanced abode has been transformed into a home for a family that are looking for a setting tucked away yet on top of all the local amenities that this extremely sort after location offers.
Location Wilmington is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Dartford, semi-rural but accessible to local amenities, schools and road links. Local to Birchwood Golf & Health club, Rowhill Grange Hotel & Utopia Spa, The Horse & Groom restaurant/pub and local shops in Birchwood Drive. Part of the Joydens Wood estate lies within parish boundaries. Its most prominent landmark is the St Michael and All Angels Church, which is the site for the annual Wilmington Model Railway Exhibition. Dartford and Crayford railway stations are close by with services to London. The shopping centres of Bluewater and Dartford offer many facilities including Prospect Place Retail Park, the Orchard Theatre, library and museum. There are road links from the area giving access to A2/M2, A20/M20, M25 and Dartford Tunnel as well as Ebbsfleet International station, airports, the coast and Channel Tunnel.
Directions From the Horse and Groom public house and restaurant at Leyton Cross Road Wilmington, continue along Leyton Cross Road where a private drive can be found just after Tredegar Road leading down into Caswallen Close.
Seller Insight When I acquired the site I was looking for a name for the development. After doing some research on the history of the location, I discovered that at the time of the Roman invasions (55BC, 43AD) a tribe of Celts known as the Cassi or Cassii lived in Cantiace (Kent) under chieftain Caswallen and are thought to have had a settlement local to Leyton Cross, Joyden's Wood, Rowhill and part of Dartford Heath. This gave me the inspiration for the name Caswallen Close.
