Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac in the desirable village of Hartley, this two to three-bedroom semi-detached chalet house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Built in the 1950s, the property has retained its charm while also offering considerable potential for reconfiguration or expansion, subject to planning permission, catering to various buyer needs. Inside, the layout includes spacious living and dining areas that provide a welcoming environment for everyday life and gatherings. The kitchen, which seamlessly connects with the dining space, is conducive to contemporary living. A versatile room at the rear can serve as either a study or a third bedroom, adding flexibility to the home's layout. The ground floor further accommodates a bathroom along with an additional separate WC, enhancing convenience for family living. The upstairs features two well-sized bedrooms that promise comfort and privacy. Though some modernization is needed throughout the property, it already benefits from double glazing and gas-fired central heating, creating a solid foundation for any updates you may wish to implement. The exterior offers a secluded rear garden with established hedges and lawn space, perfect for outdoor activities or gardening projects. A generously sized driveway leads to a detached double garage that includes an internal store area previously utilized as a photography darkroom—this space may easily transform into an inspiring home office or workshop. Additionally, there’s an attached garden storage unit at the back of the garage that broadens your possibilities for utility and organization. Situated just off Gorse Way on Briars Way, this home enjoys both peace and proximity to essential amenities. The nearby Cherry Trees shopping parade features convenient stores including a Co-op, while Longfield village offers comprehensive facilities such as Waitrose and various local shops. Commuters will appreciate easy access to major routes like the A2, M20, M25, as well as swift railway connections to London from Longfield station. The location is particularly advantageous for families; it is within striking distance of well-regarded primary schools such as Our Lady of Hartley Catholic Primary School and secondary options including Longfield Academy. Local transport services also facilitate access to grammar school options. This property stands out not only for its livability but also for its capacity for growth through renovation, making it an appealing prospect in one of Kent's most sought-after villages. Whether you're looking to create your ideal family home or seeking a strategic investment opportunity, this chalet house is poised to meet your vision.
