The Drove Way, Istead Rise, Gravesend, Kent, DA13

This substantially improved and now meticulously maintained family home is located in a sought after spot within the village of Istead Rise. Offered to the market with NO FORWARD CHAIN and available for completion by July 2025.

The extended property is a fantastic, versatile option for large or growing families, positioned just seconds from the village parade, school, recreational ground, dental practice and doctors surgery.

The home occupies a generous plot with a “wrap-around” garden, meaning there is further potential to extend, subject to the necessary permissions.

Since 2016, the property has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, to include new double glazed windows and doors, two new rubber roof areas, a new composite front door, an upgraded Worcester Bosch boiler, an upgraded fuse-box, and so much more!

The home offers a generous frontage, with a block-paved driveway large enough to accommodate at least 3-4 vehicles. There is a lawned front garden which extends to the boundary line. There is a single garage for further parking, or storage.

Downstairs, the property offers an entrance porch with a downstairs WC for convenience. Beyond this, there is a large, lobby-style entrance hall, which could be used as a children’s play area, or perhaps a home office space.

To the left, there is a versatile room, which is currently used as a study, but could easily be used a double/guest/fourth bedroom, or a second lounge/TV room. This features bespoke, built-in shelving units to its rear.

Beyond the entrance lobby, French style double doors open to a high specification, open-plan kitchen-diner. This is a German engineered kitchen with Quartz countertops and integrated appliances including triple oven (including microwave), warming drawer, induction hob with extractor, and dishwasher. There is also a water softener installed, and space for a large, American style Fridge-freezer. From the kitchen, there is a door to the side pathway/access.

There is a separate, more formal dining area at the rear of the home, which offers sliding doors to the garden. Accessible through double doors from this room is the main lounge/living room, a cosy room which benefits from tonnes of natural light, and a feature Jotul log burning stove. Surrounding this is a bespoke, solid oak mantelpiece, with matching oak shelving to the side.

A large utility room, finished to the same high standard as the kitchen (German engineered units and laminate countertop), completes the accommodation on this floor and offers yet more convenience. From here, there is another door to the garden.

Upstairs, the property comprises three double bedrooms, each of which feature bespoke, fitted sliding wardrobes. Bedrooms one and two are of incredibly generous proportions, whilst the third is a small double / large single. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, again fully modernised and featuring shower-over-bath, toilet, wash-hand basin with mirrored unit above.

Further benefits include double glazing throughout, central heating, and a large, partially boarded loft space for storage.

Externally, the wrap-around rear garden features a newly laid lawn (2020) and an outdoor shed which sits on a solid concrete base, installed in 2023. There is also side access, and a side door to the garage. There is a crazy-paved, moat-style patio, as well as well-planted & barked border beds.

As well as the village shops, dentists and doctors, local primary schools are within easy reach, including both Istead Rise & Meopham. There are school coach services to Gravesend and Mayfield Grammar schools, whilst there is a public bus service to Gravesend, Bluewater and Sevenoaks.

There are excellent road links to the A2, M25, M2 and M20, with the A2 accessible within 5 minutes by car.

Ebbsfleet International Train station is also just a short drive away, for those who may require a High-Speed link to London. Bluewater Shopping Centre is also just a few junctions along the A2, for those who enjoy their retail therapy. Gravesend’s Cyclopark is minutes away for those who enjoy keeping active. Here, there is plenty of space to roam or cycle and there is a public gym and cafe. There are also several country fields and trails, with pubic footpaths – great for those with pets.
