About
This charming, characterful, semi-detached cottage is located in the sought after, semi-rural village of South Darenth, near Dartford.
Improved by its current owners and meticulously maintained, the property is a fantastic option for first time buyers, young families, or perhaps downsizers, and those looking for an escape to the country (yet a very well connected pocket of the Kent Countryside!) The property comes with on-street parking with the ability to park one car on a recessed paved area to the front garden.
The current owners regularly park two cars at the front of the home with no difficulty. There is a re-landscaped, low-maintenance front garden, with steps up to the front porch.
Downstairs, the entrance porch leads through to a dining room, with stairs ahead, and fireplace with log burner.
Beyond this is a cosy sitting room, with a stunning, open Inglenook style fireplace also with log burner, the perfect space in which to relax and unwind.
To the rear of the property is a well fitted, country style kitchen, with underfloor heating, plenty of fitted units, a pantry/larder cupboard and ample worktop preparation space.
From this room, there is also a glazed door to the rear garden.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is the family sized bathroom, with electric power shower over bath, toilet, wash hand basin and fitted storage cabinetry.
Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms. Two are spacious doubles, whilst bedroom three is slightly smaller.
The main, front bedroom features corner-fitted wardrobes and benefits from stunning countryside views, from its windows.
The house is heated via oil fired central heating and is serviced by a shared septic tank with soakaway, for drainage. There are also double glazed windows, throughout.
Externally, there is a pleasant rear garden with lawned area and gated side access.
Manageable in size, but certainly large enough for those with children and pets, this features a patio & seating area, a garden shed, and some mature shrubs to each of the side boundaries, which add to the privacy on offer.
There is also a rear gated access, for convenience (from which the oil tank is filled, and access to the septic tank).
Whilst the property enjoys a rural setting and surroundings, the property is well connected with railway stations at Farningham Road and Longfield with London Victoria 30 minutes by train.
Ebbsfleet and Dartford stations offer alternative routes to London Charing Cross and St. Pancras (17 minutes on HS2), and to the Continent.
The A2, M20 and M25 are all within a ten minute drive, along with well-regarded nursery, primary and secondary schools.
Local amenities in South Darenth and Longfield include a Co-op and Waitrose, while Bluewater Shopping Centre is approximately a 10-minute drive away.
Good access to local public footpaths to Horton Kirby, Dean Bottom and beyond.
This is an ideal location for those looking for comfortable modern living which oozes history, a tranquil lifestyle, great privacy, great local facilities, with easy connections to the wider world.
