Malvern is an attractive and deceptively large detached bungalow in one of Hartley’s most sought after locations, it has been extended to make it a three/four bedroom family home. This gem of a property boasts many features including a gated driveway to front leading to the attached garage. In the rear garden is a large outbuilding/workshop that could be made into a great entertaining space but would also make an ideal home office. The property itself, in our opinion is an adaptable abode for varying family needs and its versatile accommodation benefits from various versatile spaces with two bedrooms and ensuite shower bathroom to the main bedroom and separate family bathroom. There is a study and formal dining room that could both be used as bedrooms. The property has a sitting room and large spacious sun lounge that is a flexible space to dine and relax in capturing the views of the leafy secluded garden. The fitted kitchen completes the internal accommodation. The rear private garden widens to the rear behind the large outbuilding and backs onto a wooded area, so the outside space enjoys a wealth of wildlife including an array of birdlife. This well maintained home is one of those properties that really needs to be seen to fully appreciate its size and fits the well-known saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’!
Location Hartley lies in the northern side of the North Downs between Sevenoaks and Dartford/Gravesend. The thriving village offers local shops including a co-op, post office and two outstanding primary schools.
