Portbridge Gardens, Swanscombe, DA10

Set within the design award-nominated Alkerden neighbourhood of Ebbsfleet Valley, this home sits on a quiet street with a smart, set-back frontage and off-street parking. Inside, the ground floor has been carefully arranged to support busy family life. The bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area provides plenty of space for everyday meals and family gatherings, with modern units, integrated appliances and French doors opening to the garden. There is also a generous cloakroom which cleverly incorporates a utility area, along with a large built-in storage cupboard tucked off the hall.

The first floor includes a dual-aspect lounge which feels light and open, ideal as a relaxed family sitting room but equally suitable as a fourth bedroom or a spacious home office, depending on lifestyle. A further bedroom and the main family bathroom are also on this floor. Upstairs again, there are two bedrooms, including the main bedroom, which has a sleek en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobe. The layout across all three floors gives excellent flexibility for growing children, guests, or those needing work-from-home options.


Outside, the rear garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect, making it a great spot for summer entertaining, playtime, or simply relaxing with a coffee. It’s laid out to be easy to maintain but still offers scope for planting or personalisation. There is also a private parking space to the front, along with a large, gated carport that provides additional covered parking and includes an EV charging point – ideal for modern family living.

The surrounding area is exceptionally well connected. Ebbsfleet International station is nearby, offering high-speed trains to Stratford in about 10 minutes and to King’s Cross St Pancras in under 20. For other routes, Swanscombe and Greenhithe stations provide direct services to London Charing Cross in under an hour. By car, the A2 is just minutes away, giving quick access to the M25 and convenient routes into London or out towards the Kent coast.

Local towns such as Dartford and Gravesend are within easy reach and provide a good choice of shops, cafés, and leisure facilities. Families will appreciate the range of outdoor activities nearby, with Jeskyns Community Woodland, Shorne Woods Country Park, and Trosley Country Park all close enough for spontaneous weekend walks or bike rides. For something a little more picturesque, the Kentish villages of Meopham, Eynsford, and Trottiscliffe are just a short drive away and offer scenic walking trails, cosy country pubs, and historic landmarks – perfect for weekend outings with children or visiting guests.

Bluewater Shopping Centre, one of the largest in the country, is just a short drive from the property and offers an exceptional mix of retail and entertainment. Alongside well-known high street and designer stores, there are plenty of family-friendly restaurants, a multi-screen cinema, indoor climbing, trampoline facilities, and the recently opened Ballerz football centre – something for everyone whatever the weather.

The property is freehold and is connected to mains gas, electricity, water, and drainage. It also benefits from an installed alarm system and the remainder of the NHBC warranty, which is valid until 2031. Council tax is currently Band E, and the EPC rating is B. There are annual estate management fees payable – currently around £398.16 to Grange and £136.83 to RMG – though these figures may vary and should be confirmed via your solicitor.
