The Drive, New Barn, Kent, DA3 4 bed detached house for sale

This attractive elegant detached 1930’s style period home located in a private road has been extended and reconfigured by the current owners to make it a four bedroom family home that sits in a 0.25 acre plot, a modern and well-presented abode. The renovation to the property, in our opinion, has been completed to a high standard and includes the refurbishment of the kitchen and bathrooms. The bright and airy accommodation has many unique spaces that are worthy of a mention such as the contemporary kitchen/dining/family room that really is the hub of the house, with bi-folds that lead out to the garden patio and makes for a great entertaining space. Another space to note is the spacious principal bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes concealing a hidden en-suite shower room. A good use of space is the landing area where a study zone has been created for those individuals that need a place to work from home. Externally to the front is a driveway leading to the garage and another great draw of this home is its large established rear garden which is approaching 125’ in length with various features including a seating area at the rear with far reaching views. On the whole this well-presented home offers the turn key package that can become a new family home with little need for improvement.

Seller Insight
The present owners say they had been looking at properties in the area for some time but none of them had matched their requirements. However, when they turned into The Drive and pulled up outside Number Three, they couldn’t believe their luck. They knew immediately, that this spacious family home was exactly the house they had been searching for. They loved the location along a quiet and private lane, and the lack of passing traffic made it a safe environment for the children. The four bedrooms were perfect for their young family, and there was generous parking and an attractive garden. The shops were within walking distance and there were excellent rail connections into London for easy commuting. The house hadn’t been touched since the eighties and needed a makeover, but this was also a bonus, as the owners saw the opportunity to make changes, and put their own stamp on the house. Working to the highest specification they built an extension above an existing (truncated)
