Horton Way, Farningham, Kent

Price range £800,000 - £850,000. "We’ve had the most glorious 22 years at Summerfield, moving here when we were 34 weeks pregnant with our first child, and now it is time for us to pass on this wonderful family home. During those years we crafted the home to fit our growing family, and we recently refurbished the house including new double glazing, driveway, and decoration. It has evolved with us every step of the way and the memories within we will treasure forever.

The space we have created has enabled us to come together as a family, mostly at the kitchen island or in front of the log burner in the lounge, and to ‘escape’ with unspoiled views enjoyed from the balcony and chasing the sun on the upper decking at the back of the garden. The peaceful setting and village life have been exactly what we didn’t realise we needed but have come to love."
