Description
Built in the late 1990s and lovingly maintained by its sole owners, this exceptional home has been thoughtfully upgraded over the years. High-quality improvements include a stylish granite-topped kitchen, updated bathrooms, a professionally landscaped rear garden, and a smart resin driveway. There is also excellent scope for further adaptation, with potential to create an open-plan kitchen/dining area or convert the garage into additional living accommodation, subject to requirements.
The facade is particularly attractive, featuring exposed brickwork softened by mature wisteria, while the slate-tiled roof and white-framed windows complement the propertys classic style.
The entrance hall opens into a light-filled study to the right, ideal for home working, and to the left is a welcoming sitting room complete with an elegant gas fireplace and an attractive mantel. To the rear, a formal dining room with French doors opens directly onto the garden.
Adjacent is the kitchen/breakfast room, which could easily be opened up to create a larger open-plan space. The kitchen itself is fitted with bespoke high-gloss cabinetry, granite worktops, and integrated appliances including an induction hob and double oven.
A well-appointed utility room with dishwasher provides ample space for laundry appliances and includes a separate WC. From here, there is access to the integral garage, offering further potential for conversion if desired.
Upstairs, a spacious central landing leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and a private en suite shower room. A large loft, accessed from the landing, provides excellent storage or scope for future development, subject to the necessary permissions.
OUTSIDE:
To the front, a newly laid resin driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the integral garage. To the rear, the fully landscaped garden is designed to make the most of the sun throughout the day, with several seating areas, a well-maintained lawn, and established borders planted with mature shrubs and hedging for privacy and year-round interest.

Detling is a charming village situated in the county of Kent, England, just to the north of Maidstone, the county town of Kent.

The village is well-connected by road, with easy access to the M20 and M2 motorway, making it an attractive location for commuters to Maidstone, the coast and London. The surrounding area offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling, thanks to its location in the Kent Downs, a haven for nature lovers.
