28, Lydbrook Close, Sittingbourne, ME10 1NW

There’s something quite nice about opening your front door and not looking straight out onto a road.

Tucked towards the end of the close, the front of this home is approached along a quiet pedestrian walkway, with the parking positioned to the rear.

It gives the property a more tucked-away feel, while still having the practicality of off-road parking when you get home.

Inside, the ground floor has already been opened up to create one large lounge/dining room rather than two smaller, separate spaces.

There’s room for a proper dining table without compromising the lounge area, while the conservatory beyond gives you another usable space overlooking the garden.

The kitchen sits separately and has been updated, so this isn’t necessarily a house where you need to arrive with a list of expensive jobs to tackle immediately.

The same can be said upstairs, where the bathroom has also been modernised. And importantly for anyone specifically searching for a three-bedroom home, the third bedroom isn’t an afterthought.

There are two double bedrooms alongside a good-sized third, giving you a layout that works for a family, guests or someone needing a dedicated home office without sacrificing one of the main bedrooms.

Outside, the rear garden is relatively low maintenance, with the garage positioned to the side and parking to the rear.

The side position of the garage may also give buyers something to think about longer term, with potential to extend or reconfigure the property subject, of course, to the relevant planning permissions and consents.

The residential setting in Sittingbourne should appeal to buyers who like the convenience of an established development but would rather not have their front door opening directly onto passing traffic.

For us, it’s the combination that makes this one interesting: Three genuinely useful bedrooms, an already opened-up living space, updated kitchen and bathroom, conservatory, garage and parking, all with that slightly more tucked-away position at the front.

If that sounds like the balance you’ve been looking for in your next Sittingbourne home, come and see it for yourself
