The kind of family home where everyone can have their own space - without losing the spaces that bring you together.

Set behind a pretty frontage, with a driveway large enough for multiple cars and an electric vehicle charging point, this is a four-bedroom semi-detached home that has been shaped around modern family life.

Step through the front door and there’s a welcoming hallway, with a downstairs WC conveniently tucked to the right.

But it’s as you continue towards the rear of the house that you really begin to understand what makes this home work.

The kitchen, dining and living areas have been opened up to create one large, sociable space, somewhere that feels just as suited to busy weekday mornings as it does to having friends and family over at the weekend.

There is a high-specification kitchen with a generous island and integrated hob.

It’s easy to imagine this becoming the natural gathering point of the house: Breakfast at the island before school, homework being finished while dinner is cooking, or a glass of wine with friends while you’re still part of the conversation.

Even the view from the kitchen sink is rather lovely, looking out across the garden towards the pond, with its running waterfall across the lily pads.

The adjoining lounge and dining areas are filled with natural light from both ends of the room, with a large window to the front and French doors opening onto the garden at the rear.

In warmer weather, opening the doors allows the living space to naturally spill outside onto the patio. And the garden has been designed with more to discover than you might initially expect.

The patio immediately outside the house gives you plenty of room for a dining table, barbecue or outdoor seating, while steps take you through the different levels of the tiered garden.

The pond creates a peaceful focal point on the first tier, with established flowers and planting beyond.

There’s room to entertain, potter, sit with a morning coffee or simply find a quiet corner when the weather is good. There is also direct rear access to the garage.

Upstairs, four good-sized bedrooms mean the house has the flexibility to change alongside family life.

Three have built-in wardrobes, while the fourth is currently used as a home office- ideal if working from home is part of your week, but equally ready to become another bedroom, nursery, dressing room or hobby space.

The family bathroom has already been refurbished too, with a contemporary finish, vanity basin, WC and bath with shower over. Then there’s the location.

Being close to both local primary and secondary schools- South Avenue, Highsted, Borden & Fulston, helps make the everyday logistics of family life that little bit easier, while Sittingbourne town centre and its shops, amenities and transport connections are also within easy reach.

It’s a home that offers the practical things a growing family needs- four bedrooms, parking, a garage and good local schools... But it’s the way the house actually lives that makes it stand out
