Country house for sale in Longfield Avenue, New Barn, Longfield, Kent DA3

Rare to market and positioned along a private road within the sought after village of New Barn is this immaculate, five bedroom, detached family home.

Completely transformed, reconfigured and lovingly improved by its existing owners, the property offers versatile living accommodation spanning an impressive 2185sqft, and is large enough to cater for families of varying sizes.

The chalet style home is accessible via a tarmacked, shared road, but offers an (electric) gated, block-paved driveway of its own. The frontage is generously proportioned with secure fencing, a section laid-to-lawn, a garage, a summer-house, and a sweeping retaining wall with planted beds, before it steps up to the front door.

At ground floor level, the home comprises a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, which leads to three bright, spacious and versatile rooms – making this a great option for multi-generational families, or for those with children who want their own TV/games room! One room is currently utilised as a guest bedroom, whilst one is used as a children’s play room and features fitted storage/wardrobes. The other, which benefits from two different access doors to the garden and a log-burner, is used as a home office/study.

The extended kitchen-living-dining space is the hub of this home. Finished to an incredibly high standard and with feature breakfast/dining island, the kitchen is fully fitted to include double butler-style sink, fridge-freezer, double oven with grill, gas hob and extractor, dishwasher, and wine cooler. It also offers access to an under-stair storage cupboard/pantry, and bi-folding doors to the garden. Added convenience is provided in the form of a utility room with downstairs WC, again finished to exacting standards and featuring another, double sink.

The living area offers double aspect with bay windows at either end, allowing for tonnes of natural light. It offers a modern, yet cosy feel, with feature log-burner and stunning wooden flooring.

Upstairs, there is a stylish master bedroom, complete with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is another large double, with access to some eaves storage and a walk-in wardrobe. The third bedroom upstairs (potentially bedroom five or six, depending on how the downstairs rooms are configured) is a traditionally smaller room, which benefits from fitted wardrobes, and makes for a great nursery. The family bathroom completes the accommodation, again finished to a top specification with separate walk-in shower cubicle, standalone ovular shaped bath, WC and wash-hand basin.

Further benefits include under-floor heating to the kitchen-dining-utility space, gas central heating, plus upgraded double glazed windows and doors, with fitted wooden shutters throughout.

It should be noted that planning consent has also been granted to pick up the left-hand hip on the gable roof, with an additional front dormer. More details on this are available upon request.

Externally, there is an impeccably maintained rear garden. The manageable area offers plenty of patio and seating space on which to host and entertain, with a brick built kitchen area and BBQ, along with a section of lawn for children or pets to roam. Benefits include side access at both sides of the property, a workshop, and a separate summer house (to the front).
