GUIDE PRICE £825,000 - £875,000
This circa 1930’s detached property we understand has been extended and remodelled in the late 1990’s to make it a substantial four bedroom chalet house, situated in a great rural location of Longfield Hill between Longfield and Meopham. Nestled on a 0.31 acre plot, this property offers the perfect blend of rural living on the edge of a village. As you approach the property by the gated drive you will find ample off street parking. As you enter the property you are greeted by a spacious hall with two ground floor bedrooms and shower room, followed by a space which is the hub of the house made up of an open plan dining room with adjoining kitchen/breakfast room, this space then leads out to the spectacular garden. The property also benefits from a second kitchen/utility room, so if cooking is your passion these areas will impress. The snug and adjoining sitting room completes the extensive ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor there are two further bedrooms and bathroom, the main bedroom suite also benefits from its own study area and en-suite bathroom. The rear 185ft approximate garden is a true delight, with a long south-facing aspect and plenty of mature planting. Beyond the patio area there is two interlinking koi ponds with a feature stream, to the rear is a store with power that would make an ideal home office. The garden includes plenty of space for growing home-grown produce and on the whole the garden is perfect place to relax and entertain. This family home must be viewed to fully appreciate the size and features it has to offer.
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. Hartley Country Club is set in 10 acres of glorious Kent countryside and offers a unique combination of sporting and social attractions. The village of Longfield offers comprehensive shopping facilities, including Waitrose, doctors surgery, a local bakery and butchers to name a few and a mainline railway station with services to London Victoria. Ebbsfleet international provides fast services to St Pancras and is within 5.5 miles. The Bluewater shopping centre with its varied range of shops and recreational facilities is approximately 5 miles from Hartley village.
