Description
A Stylish & Substantially Improved ‘Mayfair' Design Family Home in a Desirable Hawkinge Cul-de-Sac
Guide Price £540,000
A beautifully presented and thoughtfully enhanced four-bedroom detached family home, situated in a quiet and highly sought-after cul-de-sac in the popular village of Hawkinge. Offering generous and versatile accommodation throughout, this impressive property has been tastefully modernised to create a superb balance of contemporary style and practical family living.
Originally constructed by McLean Homes in their ever-popular "Mayfair" design, the property now boasts a spacious and well-appointed layout extending to approximately 2,102 sq ft. The accommodation is arranged to suit modern lifestyles, with an emphasis on both comfort and entertaining.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance porch leading into a long and inviting entrance hall. The principal sitting room is a bright and elegant space, centred around a contemporary wall-mounted feature fireplace. To the rear, a separate dining area flows seamlessly into a substantial conservatory with underfloor heating, providing an excellent year-round reception space overlooking the garden.
The kitchen/breakfast room is generously proportioned and well-equipped, offering ample workspace and storage. This is complemented by a separate utility room with space and plumbing for multiple appliances. A modern cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor, along with a highly versatile converted garage room—currently used as a home office, but equally suitable as a playroom, snug or additional reception space. The garage conversion benefits from appropriate planning consent.
To the first floor, a wide galleried landing gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes installed approximately 1 year ago, along with a stylish en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, recently updated to a high standard.
The property has seen a number of further improvements, including:
- Window blinds fitted approximately 3 years ago
- A Worcester gas boiler installed around 5 years ago
- An unvented hot water cylinder providing pressurised hot water, installed approximately 3 years ago
- Loft fully boarded and insulated
Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden is of a generous size and has been thoughtfully arranged to cater for both entertaining and family life. A standout feature is the bespoke outdoor entertainment complex, incorporating a fully enclosed bar/summer house, a gazebo seating area, and a covered hot tub space—the hot tub will remain—designed to create a sociable and flowing outdoor environment. Beyond this, there remains ample space for the whole family to enjoy.
Additional outdoor features include:
- Side access on both sides of the property
- Double gate system providing added safety for children and pets
- Dog kennel and fencing (note: these will be removed prior to sale)
Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, UPVC double glazing throughout, and an EPC rating of C.
