Located within one of New Barn’s most sought after residential roads, is this decisively large and well-proportioned four/five bedroom extended detached chalet bungalow that offers exceptional flexibility, making it particularly well suited to families, those seeking space to work from home, or multi-generational living. The property occupies a generous plot with a sunny south facing rear garden and ample frontage providing off road parking, creating a strong sense of privacy upon arrival.
Beyond the entrance porch, a welcoming hallway sets the tone for the space on offer. To the front of the property are two well-sized ground floor bedrooms, served by a modern family bathroom, while a further versatile room provides an ideal study or fifth bedroom depending on individual requirements. The kitchen breakfast room is both practical and sociable, fitted with contemporary units and enjoying space for casual dining, with the added benefit of an adjoining boot room that works perfectly for busy family life. To the rear, the sitting and dining room is a particular highlight, offering an impressive open and light filled living space with French doors opening directly onto the south facing garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.
The first floor continues the generous theme, with two further bedrooms and an additional family bathroom, providing excellent separation between living and sleeping accommodation and further enhancing the home’s adaptability. The layout throughout is well balanced and thoughtfully arranged, ensuring the property feels both spacious and functional.
Outside, the rear garden offers a peaceful retreat, laid mainly to lawn with a paved patio ideal for entertaining or relaxing, all bordered by established planting and mature hedging. A wide side access provides useful storage and also offers potential for further extension, subject to the usual planning consents. To the front, the driveway allows for parking for multiple vehicles, while the property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating throughout.
Fawkham Avenue is widely regarded as one of New Barn’s most desirable locations, combining a semi-rural village setting with excellent connectivity. Everyday amenities can be found in nearby Longfield, including a Waitrose, Co-Op, independent shops and cafés, while Broadditch Farm Shop and Manor Farm Barn Bar & Restaurant in neighbouring Southfleet add to the area’s lifestyle appeal. The Gallops and surrounding woodland provide wonderful countryside walks, and a traditional pub at Longfield Hill is within walking distance.
The area is well served by a range of nurseries, primary and secondary schools, with Longfield Academy within easy reach, alongside school coach services and bus routes to Gravesend, Dartford, Wilmington Grammar Schools and Bluewater. For commuters, Longfield station offers regular services to London Victoria in around 30 minutes, while Ebbsfleet International provides high-speed links to Stratford International and St Pancras in approximately 11 and 21 minutes respectively. Excellent road connections to the A2, M25, M2 and M20 further enhance the property’s appeal.
They say you should never judge a book by its cover, and this home perfectly illustrates that sentiment. Its deceptively spacious accommodation must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated, offering an impressive and adaptable chalet bungalow in one of New Barn’s most established and desirable roads.
Location New Barn is ideally situated within easy reach of Longfield shopping centre offering co-op and Waitrose supermarkets and variety of other shops, doctors and dentist’s surgeries and main line railway station to London Victoria.
