The bright, well-presented and versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors, and ideal for family living and entertaining. Salient points include a modern kitchen and bathroom suites, four generous bedrooms, a lovely rear garden with a south-easterly aspect, detached double garaging and ample driveway parking. Also of note is the superb covered verandah, perfect for al fresco entertaining and the property’s excellent proximity to Yalding village and Paddock Wood station, 0.9 miles and 3.6 miles respectively.

A trio of well-proportioned principal reception rooms comprise a double aspect sitting room with doors to the rear terrace and a wood burning stove, a family room with bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, opening to a dining room with a view to the front.

The well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room has lovely views over the rear garden and is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, work surfaces extending to a breakfast bar, integral appliances and space for other appliances.

A study with doors to the garden and a cloakroom/utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.

A staircase ascends to the first floor and a spacious landing with a reading area, creating a place to enjoy the garden views.

The double aspect principal bedroom has several fitted wardrobes and is served by a well-appointed en suite shower room.

There are three further bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms and one with fitted wardrobes.

The property is approached over a gravel drive, flanked on one side with a well-stocked border, leading to the detached garaging and generous parking area.

The landscaped rear garden is a particular feature with a glorious south-easterly aspect, creating a lovely backdrop. A paved terrace spans the width of the property, leading on to a superb covered verandah, ideal for al fresco entertaining. Adjoining the verandah, is a large storeroom and wood store.

The remainder of the garden is laid to a level area of lawn, interspersed with shaped beds and surrounded by established borders, all planted with a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs, perennials and specimen trees, all providing year round colour and a high degree of privacy. There are two arbors adorned with climbing plants, and two further seating areas, including one centrally positioned on the lawn, adjacent to a charming water feature.
