Guide price: £1,000,000-£1,300,000 Set behind electronically controlled gates and occupying a discreet position on the outskirts of Staplehurst, this impressive four-bedroom detached single-storey residence is beautifully finished throughout and complemented by a generous southfacing garden.

Shared with just two neighbouring properties, the gated approach leads to an attractive block-paved driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached garage.

To the front, a neatly maintained lawn and pathway create an inviting approach, while the south-facing rear garden provides an appealing setting for outdoor living.

Underfloor heating extends throughout the property, complemented by impressive ceiling heights, recessed lighting and fibre-to-the-premises connectivity.

A welcoming reception hall leads through to the superb triple-aspect kitchen and dining room, where bi-fold doors open directly onto the terrace and garden.

The kitchen is particularly well appointed, combining sleek contemporary cabinetry with a substantial central island and an excellent range of integrated appliances, including Bosch ovens, a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, together with a Quooker boiling-water tap and Bora hob with integrated extraction.

A coordinating utility room provides additional storage and appliance space.

Double glazed doors from the reception hall open into the elegant sitting room, where a striking floor-to-ceiling window draws in an abundance of natural light, while a log-burning stove creates an attractive focal point.

There are four generously proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from its own stylish en suite bathroom or shower room.

The principal bedroom is especially appealing, with the addition of a dedicated dressing room.

The property enjoys a desirable position within the Cranbrook School catchment area and is well placed for a number of highly regarded schools, including Sutton Valence and Maidstone’s grammar schools.

Staplehurst station is approximately 1.4 miles away, offering direct rail services to London, making the property particularly well suited to those seeking the balance of a country lifestyle with excellent connectivity.
