4 bedroom detached house for sale

Believed to be dated from the 1920s, Highlands has been lovingly transformed into a modern and practical family home. Arranged over 3 floors, you enter the house through a wide veranda style porch into an impressive galleried hallway. There are 3 double bedrooms, a family bathroom and cloakroom at this level.

Stairs lead up to the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room.

On the lower ground floor is the lounge with a contemporary fireplace and double doors out to the garden. The lounge opens into a dining area with double doors to the garden and an archway through to the modern fully equipped kitchen/breakfast room. Also on this level is a small office and utility room/cloakroom.

To the front of the property is a block paved in and out driveway for 5-6 cars, oak framed car port. Double gates to further parking for 2-3 cars leading to a detached single garage.

The rear garden is attractively landscaped with a large paved terrace running the width of the property, heated plunge pool, 2 seating areas and a summerhouse, lawn and vegetable area.

KINGSDOWN is a former fishing village of charm and character and offers a range of leisure activities. In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a Newsagent/Post Office, Butcher, three Public Houses, the Church of St Johns and a Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted). Recreational activities include water sports and fishing along with the Kingsdown Golf Course. The historic coastal town of DEAL has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities, yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town. DOVER, with its docks and cross-Channel services, is seven miles away, offering fast access to the Continent and fast Rail Link access to London St Pancras.
