4 bedroom detached house for sale

I have rarely seen a home and garden combination of this quality in an accessible residential area, this truly offers the best of both worlds, Adam Howell - Head of Ashford Homes

#TheGardenOfEngland

A quite magnificent detached period property recently refurbished and re-decorated inside and out, which carefully balances a fine blend of an older building with some exceptionally stylish modern features. Conveniently located close to shops, amenities, and with strong commuter links, positioned centrally within a fine plot incorporating large established gardens and a sensational sweeping driveway on approach to the home.

On approach to this home it is difficult not to be struck by the generous and meticulously designed frontage that greets you. A combination of planting, immaculate lawns, attractive railings, and a five bar wooden gated entrance approached via a new resin bound driveway create an environment anybody would be glad to return to after a long day’s work.

Grade 2 listed and constructed in the 1860’s, this pretty home holds significant kerb appeal by virtue of its tile hung façade and ornate brickwork contrasted with the black timber clad double garage which adjoins the property and has integral access from the fabulous kitchen/dining room.

The current owners have spared no expense in upgrading many elements of the property not limited to but including new oak herringbone flooring throughout the ground floor, underfloor heating in the kitchen, alarm and cctv systems operable via mobile phone, and a new downstairs shower room with ‘Mandarin Stone’ tiles and ‘Lusso’ fittings. We cannot stress enough the attention to detail that has been shown stretching to brass light switches and sockets and black industrial style radiators, the finish throughout this home is exceptional and a comprehensive redecoration programme ensures any buyer could now move straight in and put their feet up.

A kitchen/dining space at the rear of the building stretching the width of the property is something of a showpiece, incorporating a brand new bespoke kitchen and utility area supplied by ‘Collins Bespoke’ of Bethersden, quartz work surfaces, boiling water taps, and a newly fitted ‘ilve’ Italian style range cooker make this an outstanding environment to host friends and family at any time of year. The garage is accessible from the kitchen and could present an opportunity for conversion (subject to consent) should someone wish to further increase the footprint of the home.

Externally the gardens have been flawlessly landscaped front and back, with many established and newer trees, hedges, and flowers complimenting each other perfectly along with a small pond and wild garden area to enjoy.

Lower Vicarage Road is a premier residential Road in the suburb of Kennington on the outskirts of Ashford itself. A leafy area with a village feel yet within just a few minutes walk to an infant and primary school, cricket club, hockey club, football and tennis pitches, convenience stores and open fields with public right of way stretching for miles.

Within two more miles there are grammar schools, a rugby club, running track, leisure centre, a general hospital and the town centre. Here you can enjoy high quality family life, car free if preferred, and still have great access to Central London in just 37 minutes via the high speed service.
