Pathways, New Barn Road, Kent, DA3 7JB

Fully refurbished and substantially extended/reconfigured by its existing owners, Pathways has become one of the most striking homes on the sought after New Barn Road, comprising 5/6 bedrooms and over 4000sqft of versatile living accommodation.

As you enter the private, gated driveway, the kerb appeal is immediately apparent, with a stunning repointed front elevation and feature Quoins to its corners.

There is a prominent black front door with frosted glass panel.

There is ample off-road parking, with the gravelled driveway large enough to accommodate 6-8 vehicles quite comfortably, plus a double garage with an electric, roller door.

There is also a section of front lawn and a large, sweeping red-brick wall, which helps offer privacy and seclusion, from the road.

Set on a generous, flat plot, the property is set over three floors and boasts versatile accommodation throughout, making this a fantastic opportunity for large, growing, or even multi-generational families.

At ground floor level, the property comprises an entrance hall, with access to a modern downstairs toilet.

To the right hand side of the entrance hall and via a lobby space, there is a cosy family/sitting room.

Well appointed and with a tasteful palette, this room features a log-burner and panelled walls, plus a stylish Herringbone Amtico flooring, which runs throughout the ground floor.

To the left of the entrance hall, there is a spacious dining room, which interconnects via double doors, to a large study/home office.

From here, there is an internal door to the double garage, which houses the upgraded, pressurised boiler.

The showpiece and “hub” of this home is the rear extension, which measures an impressive 78 square metres. Within this space is a super modern, open-plan kitchen-living-dining arrangement.

It features a high specification kitchen with feature breakfast/dining island, Quartz tops, a wine cooler.

There are large, full length sliding doors to the rear patio and garden from the living space, with this and the overhead lantern allowing for lots of natural light.

Added convenience is provided in the form of a separate utility room which offers another door to the garden.

At first floor level, the property offers five bedrooms, one of which has been converted in to a dressing room.

The master bedroom is an impressive size with fitted wardrobes/dressing area and a modernised en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is another spacious double, again with dressing area and en-suite.

Bedroom three and four are still spacious doubles, again featuring built-in wardrobes. The smallest room has been converted to another dressing room but could easily be reinstated as a fifth bedroom.

There is a separate, family bathroom on this floor, featuring separate bath and walk-in shower cubicle, toilet and wash-hand basin.

To the second floor, the property offers a versatile space and another, potential sixth bedroom.

With minor work, this could become the principal bedroom with another en-suite and dressing area – though it is currently utilised as a huge second/third living area and games room, for children.

Externally, the property offers a fantastic, well-maintained, South-easterly facing rear garden – perfect for families with children or pets.

Accessible with side access, the garden features a patio, with two large sections of lawn, split by a pond and rockery area.
