Description

If you’ve been searching for a semi-rural home with plenty of space for the whole family, this one is well worth a closer look. This impressive detached home offers five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a garage and a double driveway, ticking all the boxes for comfortable family living.

Set along Chestnut Wood Lane, a private road on the outskirts of the village of Borden, the property enjoys a lovely outlook across a paddock, giving you that countryside feel while still keeping everyday conveniences close at hand.

To the front, you’ll find a driveway with space for two vehicles, access to the garage and gated side access leading through to the rear garden.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a bright entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. The neutral décor creates a calm, inviting feel that continues throughout the home. The lounge is a real highlight, opening out onto the garden and featuring a log burner that provides a cosy focal point, perfect for evenings in. The dining room offers plenty of space for family meals and entertaining, while the kitchen features neutral cabinetry, ample storage and access to the side of the property. Bedroom five overlooks the front and is a versatile space, ideal as a home office, study or even an additional reception room, particularly useful for families with older children. A bathroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. Three are doubles and benefit from fitted wardrobes, along with a modern shower room serving the floor.

Outside, the rear garden is a lovely space to relax and unwind. It’s partly laid to lawn and framed by a variety of mature trees and shrubs, creating a private and peaceful setting. Gated access leads back around to the front of the property.

Chestnut Wood Lane itself is a private road with around 23 properties and is ideally located for easy access to the A249 and wider motorway connections. Borden Primary School is just a short drive away, with Westlands Secondary School approximately 1.5 miles from the property.

Sittingbourne offers a great balance of town living and surrounding countryside. The nearby A249 provides straightforward links to both the M2 and M20, and the fast train service to London St Pancras takes around an hour. There’s no shortage of leisure and retail options, including The Light cinema and bowling, popular high street stores and an M&S Food at the retail park. Fitness lovers are well catered for too, with The Swallows Leisure Centre and Reynolds Gym & Spa both just a short drive away. For everyday essentials, the parade of shops along Northwood Drive is close by and very convenient.

Green spaces are plentiful, with King Georges, Borden Nature Reserve, The Grove Park and Milton Creek Country Park all within easy reach. For weekend adventures, the charming villages of Upchurch, Lower Halstow and Conyer offer scenic walks along the Saxon Shore Way, while the award-winning beaches of the Isle of Sheppey are also just a short drive away.
