57, Bower Lane, Maidstone, ME16 8EJ

A well-presented three-bedroom detached home, built in 1999 and offering spacious, versatile accommodation together with an impressive energy-efficient specification.

The ground floor centres around a particularly generous living room, providing plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining.

To the rear, a superb dining/family room was added in 2016 and has become a real highlight of the house, with its vaulted ceiling creating a wonderful sense of space, log burner and bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden.

There is also a fitted kitchen with adjoining utility room and a useful ground-floor cloakroom.

Upstairs, the main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, with two further bedrooms served by the family bathroom.

The property also stands out for its excellent energy efficiency, achieving an a-rated EPC and benefiting from solar panels together with an EV charging point.

Outside, the house has the unusual advantage of two separate driveways, providing ample off-road parking.

The former detached garage has been converted to create a dedicated gym, although the space could lend itself to a variety of other uses such as a home office, studio or hobby room.

To the rear is an attractive part-walled garden, providing a good degree of enclosure and forming a particularly pleasant extension of the living space during the warmer months.

Bower Lane is particularly well placed for enjoying everything Maidstone has to offer, combining excellent transport links with schools, riverside walks and the town centre all within easy reach.

For commuters, Maidstone West railway station is approximately 500 metres away, with services to London St Pancras in around 52 minutes, making this a convenient location for those needing regular access to the capital.

Despite its central position, there are some lovely outdoor spaces close by.

The River Medway and Medway Valley Walk are around 200 metres from the property, providing attractive riverside routes for walking, running and cycling through the Medway Valley.

Families are also extremely well catered for, with St Michael’s Infant School and St Michael’s Church of England Junior School just moments away, making the school run particularly straightforward.

Maidstone town centre is within comfortable walking distance and offers an extensive selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, together with further rail connections from Maidstone East.

The location also provides convenient road access to the surrounding Kent countryside and wider motorway network.

It is an unusually convenient setting, offering the benefits of town-centre living while having attractive riverside walks almost on the doorstep.

"We have spent 21 happy years in our lovely home, which we fell in love with the minute we walked through the door. It is full of light and space and has served us well over these many years.

We previously spent 5 years nearby in a smaller terraced house, and we wanted to stay in the area, as it is the perfect mix of being close to the town, transport links, and the countryside that we love.

We were not actively looking to move, however we recently came across a new home we fell in love with, and realised it is time for the next chapter of our lives.

We hope the new owners will be as happy here as we have been."
