Description
The property offers well-proportioned accommodation with considerable potential for a purchaser to update, reconfigure or extend the existing home, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The entrance hall leads to a cloakroom/WC and a spacious sitting room featuring an Inglenook-style fireplace and doors opening towards the rear garden via a lean to. There is a separate dining room, together with a generous kitchen and the lean-to which requires repair providing further useful space and access to the garden.
To the first floor, a galleried landing serves three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms enjoy pleasant aspects over the surrounding grounds.
One of the property's principal attractions is its setting. Wild Garth stands within an established plot, providing a high degree of seclusion and an increasingly rare sense of space. The gardens surround the house and adjoin the golf course to the rear, contributing to the property's attractive semi-rural outlook. A substantial driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage.
Fairby Lane is a sought-after private lane on the outskirts of Hartley, combining a countryside environment with excellent access to the village's everyday amenities. Hartley offers local shops, a Co-op, post office, schools and Hartley Country Club, whilst nearby Longfield provides a wider range of shops including Waitrose and a mainline railway station with services to London Victoria. Ebbsfleet International is also within easy reach, providing high-speed rail services to London St Pancras.
The area is particularly well placed for schooling, with highly regarded primary and secondary schools locally and access to the wider selection of grammar and independent schools throughout Dartford and Gravesend. Road connections are also convenient, with the A2, M20 and M25 accessible for travel throughout Kent, London and beyond.
With its approximate one acre Green Belt plot, private lane position, detached double garage and potential to create a significantly larger family home, subject to planning permission, Wild Garth represents a rare opportunity in one of Hartley's most desirable semi-rural locations. Offered with vacant possession, early viewing is highly recommended.
