Istead Rise, Gravesend, Kent, DA13

ONE OF THE MOST AFFORDABLE, FOUR-BEDROOM, SEMI-DETACHEDHOMES, CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE VILLAGE OF ISTEAD RISE.

This well presented home is just a stone’s throw from Istead Rise’s village shops, primary school, community centre, playing fields, doctors surgery, dentist and pharmacy!

A fantastic option for first time buyers, small/growing families, or potentially even those looking to downsize.

Set back from the road, the property comes with an incredibly generous frontage, with a double driveway large enough to accommodate at least six vehicles, meaning there is ample, off-road parking. There is also an EV charging point. To the rear of the driveway, there is a separate garage, for yet more parking, or storage.

Downstairs, the property offers an entrance hall, with the convenience of a downstairs toilet.

The porch opens to a bright and spacious lounge, with feature fireplace, and an exposed staircase. To the rear, there is a large, contemporary kitchen-diner, accommodating a six-seater dining table, and with plenty of deep-set storage cupboards. From this room, there are sliding doors to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the property offers two spacious double bedrooms, both of which feature built-in wardrobes. One bedroom features plumbing and a usable sink, meaning there is potential to install a more formal en-suite. Bedrooms three and four are slightly smaller rooms, but still accommodate double beds. There is a family sized bathroom, fully tiled and including shower-over-bath, toilet and wash-hand basin.

Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing throughout and a large, fully boarded loft space for storage, or even conversion potential, subject to the necessary permissions but with a precedent set on the road.

Externally, there is a low-maintenance rear garden. This offers a side gate to the driveway, a side-door to the garage and, to the rear of the garage, there is a super convenient summerhouse/outbuilding. Currently used as a home-office and children’s gaming room, this could also make a fantastic home gym or studio. The garden is largely laid-to-lawn with a sheltered seating area at the rear, including light, power and heaters.

As above, the property is incredibly well located for the village amenities, with a parade of shops including a Co-Op, a dry cleaners, and a popular Indian / Fish & Chip eateries within a two minute walk.

There are a number of reputable primary and secondary schools in the area, with Istead Rise primary school just a short walk from the property. Meopham primary and secondary (academy) schools, and Gravesend/Mayfield Grammar schools are also within easy reach, with public bus and school coach services servicing the area.

Road links are fantastic, with the property just minutes from the A2 for access to the M25 and London. Ebbsfleet International train station is just two junctions along the A2 for those who may require a High Speed link to London, whilst Meopham station also offers direct services to London Victoria. Bluewater shopping centre is also just a few junctions along the A2, for those who enjoy their retail therapy.
