Description
The Drove Way is located in the ever-popular area of Istead Rise, this impressive three-bedroom detached house was built in the 1970’s and offers a bright and spacious accommodation, enhanced by ample windows which are typical of its era, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The ground floor has been thoughtfully laid out to suit modern family living and features an entrance that opens into a spacious dining room through to a comfortable sitting room with French doors that access and overlook the rear garden, a generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, a convenient ground floor cloakroom/WC and plenty of practical storage.
The attached garage is very spacious, fitted with an electric roller door and conveniently houses the home’s combi boiler, gas and electric meters along with the property’s consumers unit. There is also additional access to the rear garden and a side entrance to the kitchen.
Upstairs, the property boasts three well-sized bedrooms, of which 2 have the benefit from built-in wardrobes & storage. There is a modern, spacious and contemporary bathroom, a landing with a storage cupboard and access to a loft hatch along with double glazing windows throughout.
The fairly secluded rear garden is beautifully established, providing an ideal retreat for relaxation or entertaining complete with a large patio space for garden furniture with power and lights, while the front block paved driveway offers ample off-street parking and continues to a gated, paved side access to the kitchen which is very handy for offloading the weekly grocery shop.
This charming property has been well cherished and requires minimal updating with the benefit from a recently newly fitted roof and fascia tiles. The soffits, rainwater goods and guttering were updated in the last decade.
The house is situated in a quiet, residential area that is popular with families and offers a tranquil, rural lifestyle with countryside walks within a village with an array of local amenities.
Istead Rise is particularly well placed for education with highly regarded primary and secondary schools and access to the wider selection of grammar and independent schools such as Gads Hill, Cobham Hall, King’s of Rochester, Mayfield for girls, Gravesend Grammar for boys and many more. Road connections are very convenient, with the A227, A2, M2, M20 and M25 accessible for travel throughout Kent, London and beyond.
