Highcross Road, Southfleet

Offered to the market with the benefit of NO FORWARD CHAIN is this exceptional, six-bedroom, four-bathroom detached family home.

Providing almost 4000 sq ft of beautifully presented and highly versatile accommodation, proudly occupying a substantial, south-facing plot, the home is perfectly suited for large, growing or multi-generational families

The property is set back from Highcross Road and has a large, gated driveway with parking for at least 6-8 vehicles. Two sets of electric access gates provide excellent practicality, with one leading to the extensive paddock at the rear – offering fantastic EQUESTRIAN POTENTIAL.

Upon entering, a spacious and welcoming reception hall, an impressive galleried staircase leads to the first floor. A convenient ground floor WC is also located off the hallway.

The principal lounge is flooded with natural light, featuring a bay window to the front, large sliding doors overlooking the garden and a contemporary media wall. Beyond this, internal, double doors lead through to a versatile garden room, currently used as a games/pool room, although equally suited to be used as a more formal dining space or additional living space. Adjacent to this is a generous downstairs double bedroom, with stylish, modernised en-suite shower room – perfect for guests, independent teenagers, an elderly relative or even a working from home space.

At the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen-dining area. Designed for modern family living and entertaining, it features a substantial central island, integrated appliances, stylish tiled floor and underfloor heating. A utility room, as large as many kitchens, provides more extensive storage, featuring a separate sink, space for washing machine and tumble. Next to this there is a boot room with further fitted storage, a dog bath, plus a side door to the extended drive and garden.

The former double garage has now been expertly converted to a cinema/family room, providing a fantastic space for relaxation, movie nights or separate family living. A plant room is also located here, centralising all the technical equipment, machinery and utilities to run the home.

Upstairs, the first floor offers five further double bedrooms. The impressive master measures over 22 x 18ft and features walk-in dressing room, plus partition wall, separating the main room from another dressing area with built-in wardrobes. Leading through to a huge en-suite bathroom, complete with walk-in shower, separate/standalone bath, large sink, toilet and full width wall mirror. Bedrooms two, three and four are again comfortable doubles, with bedroom two offering another stylish en-suite. Bedroom five is a smaller double, currently used as a home-office and dressing room.

A family bathroom completes the accommodation, finished to the same, high specification as the rest of the bath/shower rooms, complete with shower-over-bath, toilet and wash/hand basin.

Further features include upgraded doors and windows, air conditioning, extensive underfloor heating to most of the ground floor and a large loft space. A speaker system has also been installed, to the main reception rooms, cinema room, master dressing area and en-suite.

The property benefits from oil central heating, with an upgraded boiler and oil tank. There is a septic tank for drainage.

Externally, the landscaped, beautifully maintained, south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully designed, for both family enjoyment and entertaining. A large wrap around patio provides ample space for outdoor dining, complemented by a sheltered pergola/seating area. There is a large area of lawn with some mature trees, fruit trees and shrubs, while fencing to the perimeter, enhances privacy and security.

Another raised deck area features a garden room, containing a contemporary bar, perfect for summer parties.

Beyond the main garden and accessed via either the second driveway, or a gate from the rear garden, is a substantial enclosed paddock. Again, well maintained and offering tremendous versatility, it is ideal for families with children, dog owners, or horses. Existing old stable buildings are located in the far corner of the paddock and subject to any necessary permissions and improvements, offer excellent potential for redevelopment into a more comprehensive stable block with tack room facilities. 

Backing onto open farmland, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of space, privacy and countryside living, while remaining in a convenient location.

Southfleet is well positioned for the village amenities of Longfield. Longfield train station offers direct services to London Victoria in little over 30 minutes, whilst Ebbsfleet International is also within easy reach, offering a high speed service to both Stratford Intl and St Pancras Intl (for Kings Cross).
