Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac within the village of Shepherdswell, this distinctive four-bedroom residence presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Known as Ailanthus, the property is set back on a private driveway, providing ample off-street parking and features an integral double garage.
Upon entering through the large front door, you are greeted by an expansive entrance hall that showcases a striking staircase. The spacious living area beyond boasts generous proportions, ideal for accommodating both relaxation and entertainment. With double doors leading out to the rear garden, this area enjoys an abundance of natural light. The central fireplace serves as a focal point for the sitting area, while the dining space easily caters to large gatherings. Adjacent to this is a modern kitchen equipped with ample storage and room for casual family meals, plus a utility room that enhances functionality.
The ground floor layout offers remarkable versatility, featuring four additional rooms including a substantial study currently serving as a guest bedroom. Three well-sized double bedrooms come with fitted storage, complemented by a family bathroom. Further practicality is afforded by an extra utility room and cloakroom adjacent to the study, along with direct access to the integral garage which connects to a secluded office space—perfect for those seeking a dedicated workspace at home.
On the first floor, the master suite features an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. A balcony extends from this bedroom, offering stunning views across East Kent that are particularly enchanting at sunset. The rear terrace overlooks a completely enclosed garden adorned with mature trees and well-planned borders.
Notably, the current owners have secured full planning permission for expanding the home with both single-storey side and first-floor rear extensions. While only the ground-floor extension has been completed (including a new utility room), there remains significant potential for further enhancements or even converting part of the existing structure into an independent annexe—subject to obtaining necessary consents.

Additionally, Shepherdswell benefits from convenient access to comprehensive shopping options in nearby Whitfield just ten minutes away by car, where you'll also find leisure facilities.
