Detached, Chain-Free Family Home with EV Charger, Driveway, Garage & Powered Sheds – A Rare Find on Lewisham Road

A beautifully presented three-bedroom detached home in the heart of the ever-popular village of River — offered chain free and designed for modern family life. Set back from the road with a driveway, garage, EV charging point, and power to all garden sheds, this property combines practicality with contemporary living throughout.

Step through the welcoming porch into the hallway and you’ll immediately appreciate the thoughtful layout. To your right is the bright front sitting room, complete with a charming bay window. Adjacent lies the second reception room featuring a traditional fireplace, ideal for relaxed family time. The original French doors open into the extended dining room — a standout feature with a striking glass atrium ceiling window, filling the space with light and creating a wonderful entertaining area. From here a utility space and convenient downstairs WC lead seamlessly into the stylish modern kitchen, newly updated in 2024 with quality finishes and plenty of storage.

Upstairs you’ll find two large double bedrooms, with bedroom 1 enjoying its own bay window and pleasant outlook over the green recreation ground to the front and bedroom 2 with sweeping views of the garden and beyond! A well-proportioned third bedroom completes the sleeping accommodation, along with a Modern family shower room and separate WC.

The long, easy-to-maintain rear garden offers an excellent outdoor space for play, dining and relaxation, while powered sheds provide superb storage or workspace potential — perfect for hobbies or projects.

Location, Schools & Local Amenities
Nestled just a couple of miles north of Dover town centre, River enjoys a true village feel with everyday amenities on your doorstep. There’s a local supermarket, convenience stores and traditional pubs all within easy reach. The highly regarded River Primary School is on Lewisham Road itself — a sought-after community school catering for ages 4–11 and rated strongly by parents and inspectors alike, making it ideal for young families.

Outdoor lovers will appreciate the proximity to local green spaces such as River Recreation Ground with play and sports facilities, and the scenic Kearsney Abbey gardens and lakes — great for walks, picnics or simply enjoying nature.

For commuters, Kearsney and Dover Priory mainline stations are both within easy reach, providing regular services to London and beyond, and major road links via the A2/M2 make travel straightforward.
