***CHAIN ABOVE COMPLETE***

Situated in the highly sought-after rural village of Newington, just moments from Folkestone and the stunning Kent coastline, this substantial and beautifully extended four/five bedroom detached residence offers the perfect blend of countryside tranquillity and coastal convenience. For buyers searching with Folkestone Estate Agents, this exceptional family home presents an outstanding opportunity to secure space, flexibility and future potential in a prime village setting.



A Location That Truly Delivers


Newington is renowned for its charming rural atmosphere, scenic country walks and excellent connectivity. From this enviable position, you are only a short drive from Folkestone's vibrant town centre, mainline stations with high-speed links to London, reputable schools, local amenities and the ever-popular beaches along the south coast. The surrounding countryside provides endless walking routes and green open spaces, creating an idyllic backdrop for family life while remaining conveniently close to everything you need.



The Property


This impressive detached home occupies a generous plot with a substantial in-and-out driveway, ample parking for multiple vehicles and an attractive front garden. The original garage has been cleverly reconfigured, retaining useful front storage while transforming the rear into a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/living space—significantly enhancing the overall footprint and lifestyle appeal of the home.



Ground Floor


Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting hallway. Immediately to the right is a well-proportioned lounge featuring an attractive fireplace, abundant natural light and sliding glass doors opening directly onto the private, landscaped rear garden—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living.


Off the hallway is a versatile study, currently used as a home office but equally suited as a generous fifth bedroom. A convenient downstairs WC is also located on this level.


The true heart of the home lies in the extended open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. Thoughtfully redesigned and tastefully finished, this expansive space provides extensive storage, plentiful worktop space and integrated appliances. A rear door leads directly to the garden, while an additional internal door connects to the remaining front garage storage area. A further door from the kitchen area opens into a practical utility room, enhancing the functionality of this impressive family space.


This open-plan design has dramatically improved the flow of the property, creating a sociable and contemporary layout ideal for modern family living.



First Floor


Upstairs, the spacious landing provides access to four well-sized bedrooms and the family bathroom.



  • Bedroom Two - A generous double with built-in storage.
  • Bedroom Three - Another comfortable double with built-in cupboard.
  • Bedroom Four - A further well-proportioned bedroom.
  • Family Bathroom - Featuring a modern walk-in shower.
  • Airing cupboard and additional storage cupboards are conveniently positioned off the landing.

The standout feature upstairs is the newly created principal bedroom, forming part of the extension. This exceptional master suite is wonderfully spacious, flooded with natural light from multiple windows and offers ample room for freestanding wardrobes and additional furniture. The scale and versatility of this room truly set the property apart.



Outside Space


The rear garden is level, highly usable and enjoys sun throughout the day into the evening—ideal for entertaining, relaxing or family activities. Established greenery provides a pleasant outlook, while side access leads conveniently back to the front driveway. The garden offers excellent potential for further landscaping or personalisation depending on the new owner's vision.



Future Potential


Importantly, the current owners have secured planning permission for a further loft extension (plans available within the listing photographs). This provides outstanding future-proofing and scope for additional accommodation, subject to implementation by the new owner.
