71, Timberbank, Gravesend, DA13 0SN

Offered to the market the benefit of no forward chain and located on a sought after road within Vigo Village – you’ll find this three bedroom, detached house.

In need of some internal modernisation but boasting a wealth of potential for extension (STPP) and reconfiguration, this is a great family home, particularly for those looking to put their own stamp on a property.

The house occupies a generous plot, with a large, lawned front garden, a block-paved driveway for 2-3 cars quite comfortably, and a single, detached garage with electric roller door.

Downstairs, there is an entrance porch with a downstairs WC, for convenience. There is a large, through lounge-diner with sliding doors to the rear, providing access to the garden.

Through the entrance hall and before the staircase to the first floor is a versatile room.

Most recently used as a study, this could make a great children’s play room or perhaps a more formal dining space.

There is a separate fitted kitchen to the rear, which offers a side door to the garden. Upstairs, the house includes two spacious double bedrooms, one of which includes a built-in wardrobe.

The third bedroom is traditionally smaller, but again features a built-in wardrobe.

A fully-tiled, family sized shower room with large walk-in shower, and a separate upstairs WC, complete the internal accommodation.

Further benefits include double glazing throughout, a loft space for storage and warm-air central heating. Externally, there is a fair sized garden.

With its easterly orientation, this enjoys the morning sun. There are some established trees and shrubs which help add to the privacy on offer, as well as some well planted beds.

There is ample space to the rear in which to extend, subject to the relevant permissions. Many homes in the vicinity have also extended above the garage, to create a large master suite.

The village offers a convenience parade, with a Village Hall for a church, library, and the option of private hire.

The Village pub is well known and serves real ale, an extensive gin menu and a food menu. Vigo offers plenty of green space for those with children or dogs.

The nearby Trosley Country Park provides over 170 acres of land and three waymarked walking trails with spectacular views over the North Downs.

There is also plenty of opportunity to enjoy your favourite sports and pastimes.

For Golfers, the prestigious London Golf Club is nearby, as are several other superb courses in the area, including Wrotham Heath.

The Reynolds Retreat Country Club in Borough Green offers luxurious and high-quality fitness, thermal spa and treatment facilities.

The village is just a few miles from both Meopham and Borough Green, which both have a selection of shops for everyday items, with these including a Sainsburys Local, a Tesco Express, an artisan bakery, and a popular breakfast & lunch lounge known as “Café Lounge”.

Road links to the M20, M25, M2 and A2 are superb for those who may need to travel or commute, whilst Meopham, Borough Green & Wrotham, and Sevenoaks stations all offer direct services to London Victoria, London Bridge and London Charing Cross, .

For those who may require a high-speed link, Ebbsfleet International is just a few junctions along the A2.
