The Maples, Longfield, Kent, DA3

This extended, five bedroom detached family home is located in a quiet, sought after cul-de-sac within the village of New Barn.

Extended above and to the rear of the double garage, the home now boasts over 2000sqft of versatile accommodation (to include the garage).

There is ample off road parking, with said garage and a tarmacked driveway, large enough to accommodate two vehicles, quite comfortably. For visitors and guests, there is unrestricted parking available within the cul-de-sac.

Downstairs, the home offers an entrance hall with the convenience of a utility room, to the right – a handy space within which to shut all of your laundry - and a downstairs cloakroom.

To the left of the entrance hall, there is a well appointed, tastefully decorated main lounge. This room is large enough to accommodate a dining table and features windows/doors at each end, allowing for plenty of natural light and access to the garden. This main lounge interconnects with a more formal dining space behind the garage, which sits within the extension. This offers versatility and could make a guest bedroom, a second TV/reception room, a children’s play room or a home office. From here, there are again French doors to the rear garden.

To the rear-right of the ground floor, there is a spacious kitchen-diner. With a feature island, this includes fitted oven/hob and dishwasher, with suitable space for an American fridge-freezer. Yet again, there are doors from here to the rear garden.

Upstairs, there are three large double bedrooms, and two further singles. The master bedroom sits within an extension above the garage, boasting generous proportions. Features include two Juliet balconies which overlook the rear garden, a “his and hers” dressing area and a sizeable en-suite shower room.

The original master bedroom has now become bedroom two, another en-suite double with built-in wardrobes. Bedroom three, again large enough to accommodate a large double and free-standing storage/wardrobes, would ensure that growing families don’t struggle with growing children getting the short straw! Bedrooms four and five are smaller single rooms, both currently utilised as home offices/studies.

A family bathroom completes the accommodation, fully tiled and featuring electric shower-over-bath, toilet and wash/hand basin.

Further benefits to the home include gas central heating, double glazing throughout and a loft space for storage.

Externally, there is a beautifully maintained, South-facing rear garden. Mainly laid-to-lawn, this also features an upgraded patio with borders, which extends to the side access, and on which sits the existing home owner’s hot tub! There are mature trees and shrubs to the boundary which help add to the privacy on offer, together with feature palm trees, a focal point within the space!

New Barn is very well positioned for reputable primary and secondary schools, as well as local amenities in Longfield Village. Within walking distance (approx 25/30 minutes), these include Longfield train station, which offers regular, direct services to London Victoria, as well as the Kent Coast. Further convenience is provided with a Waitrose Supermarket, a Co-Op, a doctors surgery, a dental practice, a pharmacy and independent stores to include a butcher, a bakery, hair and nail salons, a barber shop and numerous takeaway/dine-in restaurants. There are pleasant country walks available across The Gallops, Hartley woods, or to public houses including the Green Man at the top of Longfield Hill, or the Ship Inn at Southfleet.

Road links to the A2, M25, M2 and M20 are all within easy reach, as is Ebbsfleet International train station, offering High Speed services to Stratford International and St Pancras International (for Kings Cross), both in under 25 minutes. There are also school coach services to nearby Grammar schools. Bluewater Shopping Centre is just a few junctions along the A2.
