4 bedroom detached house for sale

Incredibly rare to market and located in a sought after position OVERLOOKING MEOPHAM GREEN, is this spacious and versatile 3/4 bedroom detached home, boasting close to 3200sqft, plus outbuildings!

With Basque Cottage, you’re buying more than just a home – you’re buying a lifestyle.

Occupying a plot measuring approximately one acre, the home has been substantially extended and reconfigured by its existing owners, now presented and maintained to an exacting standard and displaying a unique blend of original character, with a twist of modern, open-plan living.

The property is accessible via the A227 and opposite Meopham Green itself, via a gravelled driveway which splits a traditional white, picket fence. The driveway allows parking for at least 8-10 vehicles, with a separate double car-port for further, sheltered off-street parking.

With the oldest parts of the home dating back to build in 1712, the house is largely split in to “old” and “new”, with the majority of the older parts sat within the left-hand-side of the home.

Downstairs, the property offers a welcoming entrance hall with a striking Oak staircase, a feature fireplace and a double-height ceiling. To the left, you’ll find one of two reception/living rooms. Boasting a double-aspect, this features character beams, as well as a fully functional log-burner which sits within a beautiful inglenook fireplace.

Beyond this, but interconnected via a small passageway is a further snug/reception. This room offers great versatility and could be used as a home office, a second television room, or perhaps even a small guest bedroom.

To the right hand side of the ground floor, there is a ground floor bedroom, currently used as a study. Convenience is provided in the form of a downstairs WC next to this room, with a stunning exposed brick curved wall – a prominent feature.

To the rear, the show-piece of this home is the extended, open-plan kitchen-living-dining arrangement – the perfect space in which to host, entertain or party. Featuring a high specification kitchen with breakfast/dining island, there are also bi-folding doors to the rear patio & garden. Benefits to this space include kick-board underlighting, as well as Quooker tap and built-in appliances to include induction hob & ceiling extractor, oven, grill, microwave, warming plate, coffee machine, and wine cooler! Yet more convenience is provided in the form of a separate utility, housing and hiding away the wash, drying and dishwashing facilities.

From the hallway, there is a newly constructed staircase down to the original cellar, which is a great option for storage, but is largely used as a plant room. As part of the refurbishment, the hot water and heating systems have been upgraded, as have the electrics, with the access points and manifolds for the underfloor heating, servicing the newer parts of the home, located here.

Upstairs, the home offers three spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom is of incredibly generous proportions, again benefitting from double-aspect for natural light, and built-in cupboards hiding away the manifold for the underfloor heating. Again, the exposed curved brick-wall is a feature which extends up from the ground floor. From this room, there is access to a “his and hers” dressing room, which offers a door to a stunning balcony overlooking the rear garden. This is large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs, so that the Westerly orientation and afternoon/evening sunshine can be enjoyed.

There is a separate en-suite, again a fantastic size, featuring large walk-in shower with glass panel, separate standalone bath, toilet his and hers sink, and heated towel rail. The showers can all be controlled digitally and via remote control.

Bedrooms two and three sit within the older part of the home and thus enjoy a feature fireplace (not used), and yet again, double aspect. There is plenty of space for double-beds and free-standing storage units, with bedroom three enjoying a window-seat that overlooks the rear garden.

The accommodation is complete with a stunning family bathroom, finished to the same high specification as the en-suite and again with separate shower, bath, toilet and sink.

Externally, the well maintained garden is deceptively spacious. With its main proportion laid-to-lawn, it features a number of outbuildings, including a 6x3m toolshed, a 3x3m garden shed, as well as benefits to include a 4000l water harvesting system, with its pump located in the garden shed. Beyond the main proportion of lawn is a woodland area, perfect for children & pets to roam and play, or for bonfires. There is access from both sides of the house, with a handy area to store bins and the log-store.

This highly desirable pocket of Meopham is within close proximity to Meopham Parade, where you’ll find a Tesco Express for convenience, a popular Café, takeaway eateries and more. There are three pubs within the village, including The Cricketers Inn which is located immediately next door, offering a great food & drink menu. The popular Bartellas Restaurant is also within easy reach.

Just across the green, there is a route through to a stunning country walk which overlooks the Meopham Valley.

For those with children, Meopham Primary and Secondary schools are both within walking distance, and there are coach/bus services to Gravesend and Sevenoaks for Grammar Schools. The doctors surgery and a private dental practice are also within easy reach, as is the village veterinary practice.

Nearby train stations include Meopham and Longfield, both offering direct services to London Victoria and the Kent Coastline. Road links to the A2, M25, M2, M20 are fantastic, whilst the nearby Ebbsfleet International is within a short drive, for those who may require a High-Speed link to London.
