Heathfield Road, Maidstone

A substantial detached five bedroomed modern residence which has been creatively enhanced and thoughtfully extended, showcasing a high degree of architectural excellence and artistic design. Offering over 2,500 sq.ft of beautifully presented internal space, the property has been transformed with a considered eye for detail, incorporating stylish new bathrooms, a sleek quartz-topped fully integrated kitchen, a luxurious laundry room and extensive glazing which beautifully frames the south-facing rear garden.

The property occupies a generous plot, with ample parking within the gated driveway leading to the integral garage. The fully enclosed rear garden enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy, with dappled shade provided by beautiful, mature trees which border the walled garden.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and a neatly appointed cloakroom. To the left is a generous sitting room, centred around a limestone fireplace surround with a gas fire.

The impressive open-plan living space spans the rear of the house and forms part of the thoughtfully designed extension and reconfiguration. A vaulted ceiling with skylights draws natural light deep into the space, whilst full-height sliding doors allow the south-facing light to flood through and create a seamless connection with the garden.

Porcelain flooring has been laid seamlessly throughout, providing a contemporary foundation for a beautifully designed kitchen, with wall and floor cabinetry carefully selected in two complementary tones. The substantial island takes centre stage, illuminated by elegant pendant lighting and providing a natural hub for both everyday family life and entertaining. All main appliances are fully integrated, maintaining the clean and considered aesthetic.

The adjoining laundry room is equally well appointed, with an array of cabinetry in a soft pink hue, generous storage and direct access to the garden. This area also provides access to a versatile playroom/home office, whilst a cleverly concealed study on the ground floor offers a useful and adaptable space which could equally lend itself to additional storage or a quiet reading nook.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a recently updated family bathroom, finished with decorative tiles and beautiful brushed brass fittings and fixtures. One of the bedrooms benefits from an ensuite shower room, which has been prepared with plumbing ready for completion, offering the opportunity for the new owners to finish the space to their own specification.

The second floor is dedicated to the principal suite, creating a private retreat with an ensuite shower room and dressing area, complete with open rails and bespoke plywood cabinetry. A further area, accessed from the principal bedroom, provides a particularly versatile addition and would make an ideal dressing room or private study.

OUTSIDE:

The property occupies a generous plot with extensive parking provided within the gated driveway, whilst the south-facing rear garden is principally laid to lawn and beautifully sheltered by mature trees. A recently laid resin pathway and patio create an attractive and practical outdoor space, with ample room for alfresco dining and entertaining. A useful storage shed provides additional space for garden tools and bicycles.
