Description
SEMI-RURAL LIVING | FOUR BEDROOMS | 90FT GARDEN | HUGE POTENTIAL | MAINLINE STATION NEARBY
COUNTRYSIDE ON YOUR DOORSTEP. LONDON WITHIN EASY REACH. A HOME READY FOR ITS NEXT CHAPTER.
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a four-bedroom semi-detached former farm cottage, occupying an idyllic semi-rural position on the outskirts of Paddock Wood while remaining approximately two miles from the town and its mainline railway station.
IN THE SAME FAMILY FOR MANY YEARS, this much-loved home is now ready for a new generation to transform it.
Requiring modernisation throughout, the property represents a genuine blank canvas with generous existing accommodation, a substantial approximately 90ft rear garden with additional side plot, garage and excellent driveway parking.
For buyers with vision, the generous outside space also provides exciting potential to extend and enhance the existing house, subject to all necessary planning permissions and consents.
A RARE BLEND OF RURAL LIFE & COMMUTER CONVENIENCE
The setting is one of this property's greatest attractions.
Positioned on the outskirts of Paddock Wood, approximately two miles/around seven minutes by car from the town, the house enjoys a more rural atmosphere while avoiding the isolation sometimes associated with countryside living.
Pretty surrounding villages include Matfield, Brenchley and Yalding, with excellent countryside walks available throughout the surrounding area.
Yet when work or city life calls, Paddock Wood mainline station provides direct rail connections towards London Charing Cross, Waterloo East and London Bridge, as well as services towards Ashford International and Dover Priory.
ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY – WITHOUT GIVING UP THE COMMUTE.
FOUR BEDROOMS. TWO RECEPTION ROOMS. SPACE TO REIMAGINE.
The existing accommodation offers an excellent starting point for anyone looking to create their own individual family home.
The ground floor is approached via the hallway and provides a separate lounge and dining room, giving plenty of flexibility for family life and entertaining.
The dual-aspect kitchen completes the principal ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the landing leads to four good-sized bedrooms, together with the bathroom and WC.
The house currently benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazing throughout.
IN NEED OF MODERNISATION – AND THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY
For buyers searching for a pristine, recently refurbished property, this may not be the one.
For buyers looking for a property where they can modernise, redesign and create a home around their own requirements, this could be exactly the opportunity they have been waiting for.
Having remained within the same family for many years, the house now requires updating throughout, giving its next owners the freedom to introduce a new kitchen, bathrooms, décor and finishes rather than paying a premium for somebody else's choices.
A TRUE BLANK CANVAS. BRING YOUR IDEAS. CREATE YOUR HOME.
90FT REAR GARDEN & ADDITIONAL SIDE PLOT
Outside is where the possibilities become even more exciting.
The property enjoys a substantial rear garden extending to approximately 90ft, together with an additional side plot.
This generous outside space provides ample room for children, entertaining, gardening and outdoor living while potentially offering scope to extend the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions and consents.
A thoughtfully designed extension could create the increasingly popular large open-plan kitchen/dining/family space, while still retaining a generous family garden.
EXTEND. REMODEL. MODERNISE. THE POTENTIAL IS CLEAR TO SEE.
GARAGE PLUS DRIVEWAY PARKING FOR THREE VEHICLES
The property also scores highly on practical considerations.
There is a garage together with driveway parking for approximately three vehicles, providing the off-road parking and storage space so important for modern family life.
Combined with the large garden and semi-rural surroundings, this creates a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking more space both inside and outside.
PADDOCK WOOD – EVERYTHING YOU NEED WITHIN EASY REACH
Paddock Wood provides an excellent range of everyday amenities, including Waitrose, Tesco, Jempson's/Morrisons, Post Office, butcher, baker and Barsley's Department Store.
The town also offers a library, large health centre, Putlands Sports & Leisure Centre, primary schooling and Mascalls Academy.
For a wider choice of shopping, entertainment and amenities, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Maidstone are approximately 7, 6 and 8 miles away respectively.
WELL CONNECTED BY ROAD & RAIL
Alongside the convenient mainline railway connection, the property offers straightforward access to the A21, which in turn connects with the M25 motorway network.
It is this combination that makes the location particularly appealing: countryside surroundings when you're at home, established town amenities nearby and excellent connections when you need to travel.
A LONG-TERM FAMILY HOME READY FOR A NEW GENERATION
Homes offering this combination of semi-rural surroundings, four bedrooms, a substantial garden, parking and genuine improvement potential can be increasingly difficult to find.
After many years within the same family, this is an exciting opportunity for its next owners to put down roots and create something special.
Modernise the existing house. Explore the extension possibilities. Make the most of the 90ft garden and side plot.
THE BONES ARE HERE. THE LOCATION IS HERE. THE SPACE IS HERE. NOW BRING THE VISION.
