Timbercroft is an extended detached chalet bungalow tucked away on The Drive in one of New Barn’s most sought after private roads. The home offers versatility and scope, currently arranged with three bedrooms but was formally a four, giving buyers the option to reconfigure or extend further, subject to planning permission.
The welcoming entrance hall leads through to the spacious L'shaped sitting and dining room, a bright and inviting area with large picture windows framing views over the mature rear garden. This room was previously divided to incorporate a fourth bedroom and could easily be reinstated if required. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, with an adjoining utility room providing access directly out to the garden.
The main bedroom is situated on the ground floor along with the family bathroom, while the first floor provides two further bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom. Outside, the garden extends to approximately 0.27 of an acre, beautifully established with trees, shrubs and a generous lawn. A raised patio provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the garden, a haven for both relaxation and children’s adventures.
To the front of the property is driveway parking for two cars, together with a former garage now converted into a useful office with store behind. The home is offered with vacant possession, ready for a new owner to place their own mark on its versatile layout.
The location is second to none, with New Barn ideally placed for daily amenities at Longfield village including Co-op and Waitrose supermarkets, local shops, doctors and dentist surgeries and mainline rail services to London Victoria in just 30 minutes. Excellent road connections via the A2, M2 and M25 place London, Gatwick and Heathrow airports, Bluewater Shopping Centre and the Channel ports all within easy reach, while Ebbsfleet International is around ten minutes away offering a 20 minute link to London St Pancras. Families will also appreciate access to a choice of primary schools, Longfield Academy and renowned grammar schools in the area.
Beyond the immediate convenience, the area is surrounded by countryside walks and bridleways, with The Gallops at the heart of the community providing a sweeping green open space popular with dog walkers, joggers and families.
Longfield itself retains a village atmosphere, with cricket and football clubs, a large village hall and a thriving local community. Together, these features make Timbercroft not only a home with potential, but also a lifestyle choice in one of North West Kent’s most desirable locations.
