Description

Nestled at the end of a tranquil country lane, this four-bedroom detached family home is ideally situated close to Staplehurst's town center and railway station, offering both convenience and a peaceful retreat. The property presents significant renovation and extension potential, having previously received planning permission in 2012 for a part single-storey, part two-storey extension — an opportunity that could be revisited to maximize the living space. Spanning two floors, the home features spacious accommodations that can easily adapt to modern needs. The ground floor includes a kitchen equipped with contemporary appliances and a tiled floor, conveniently accessed from the entrance hallway. At the rear, an open-plan reception area combines a dining room and a generously sized living room featuring a gas fireplace. This inviting space opens into a conservatory and terrace where you can enjoy picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. The upper level comprises four well-sized bedrooms accompanied by a family bathroom, providing ample space for family living or guest accommodation. Outside, the south-west facing garden is meticulously maintained with a lush lawn, mature trees, and hedging that ensures privacy. A productive vegetable bed on the side adds to its charm while offering some self-sustainability. The front of the property offers paved parking for several vehicles along with access to a garage. Staplehurst boasts essential local amenities including shops like Sainsbury’s/Argos supermarket, as well as health services and community facilities such as cricket and tennis clubs. For broader shopping options or leisure activities, nearby towns like Cranbrook (5 miles), Maidstone (8.8 miles), and Tunbridge Wells (16.4 miles) are easily accessible. Commuters will appreciate Staplehurst's mainline railway station which provides quick access to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Waterloo East, and Charing Cross — making it an attractive location for those working in the city. Educational opportunities are plentiful in this sought-after area, being within the catchment for Cranbrook School along with various primary and secondary schools available in both private and state sectors. Access to grammar schools in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Faversham is also convenient. For those needing to travel further afield or commute via road networks, entry points to the M25 via junctions 5 or 6 are readily reachable from the A20. This property offers not just a home but also promise for growth in value through thoughtful renovations or extensions in a desirable location rich with amenities and educational options
