We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Welcome to Makin Drive, a stunning 3 bedroom detached home with a range of upgrades throughout, offered with a complete onward chain for peace of mind too.
As you pull up to the property you get an instant feel of the quality and care this property has had, with great curb appeal it sets the tone for what the rest of the house has to offer.
Entering the property you have a spacious hallway with adjacent wc and door in to your dual aspect living room.
Moving through you have an open plan kitchen/diner with French doors leading onto your back garden, something I love about this space is the choice of kitchen the owners selected from new, 9 years on from construction it is the most contemporary of the kitchens on offer and gives a modern feel to this versatile room.
Another aspect of the ground floor I love is the hard flooring all the way through the ground floor, the oak flooring gives a warm feeling to the home while the natural light and neutral tones give a bright and airy feel; a great contrast making this home inviting all year round.
Moving upstairs you’ll find 3 generous bedrooms, this is another benefit to houses on the Heron Fields development, the properties were designed with families in mind, no more fighting over who doesn’t want the box room, in this home all 3 bedrooms are a great size.
The master bedroom is located at the front of the property and boasts a shower en-suite, all 3 bedrooms offer built in storage space which is a real benefit for families considering this property.
Lastly you have a modern bathroom suite with mostly tiled finish.
Turning to the external aspects of this property you’ll discover a driveway to the front of the property, handy garage with fully boarded loft to provide additional storage options, the garage has electric so can be used as a utility or have future potential to be converted and incorporated into the main house (a precedent has been set on this estate for garage conversions.) Another upgrade the sellers have made is building a garden room, this versatile space could become an office, hobby room, play room for your children or a bar for the warmer months.
The sellers paid a premium when purchasing the property to ensure they had a larger corner plot, this means they’ve now got a large patio, laid to lawn area and plenty of space for their garden room and shed.
Makin Drive is located on the quiet and desirable Heron Fields, due to the age of the development the property still have just over a year of its NHBC warranty.
You can walk to the local schools including Lansdowne primary school, Sunnybank nursery and primary school as well as The Sittingbourne School (secondary.) For commuters you have quick access to the A249 (leading to the M2 and M20) as well as Sittingbourne mainline train station with links into London and the Kent coast.
