Fauchons Lane, Bearsted

A delightful four-bedroom detached family residence, peacefully tucked away at the far end of Fauchons Lane, offering enviable views of Banky Meadow. Originally built in the 1920s and thoughtfully extended in the 1990s, the property offers over 2000 sq. ft. of immaculately presented accommodation, balanced beautifully with a desirable, neatly landscaped 120-ft rear garden.

The rear of the house forms part of the extension, which features a spacious open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with sleek cream gloss units and integrated appliances, including a double Neff oven, dishwasher, and hob. A large central island with a granite countertop doubles as a breakfast bar with lots of storage. French doors open onto the garden, while an adjoining dining area, complete with an original cast-iron fireplace, seamlessly connects to the space.

The kitchen is further complemented by a separate utility room, while the ground floor also benefits from a study and a generously sized sitting room with pretty windows overlooking the front drive.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, and basin. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive space, boasting an en-suite bathroom, an array of fitted wardrobes and stunning views over the garden.
