Gorse Way, Hartley, Longfield, DA3 8AF

1. A beautiful setting, with the great outdoors on your doorstep

Imagine living on a peaceful private road, with very little through traffic and the beautiful Hartley Woods at the end of the road.

Morning dog walks, weekend bike rides, an evening stroll or simply getting outside for some fresh air. It's all there, without having to get in the car.

Yet you're far from isolated. Longfield station is approximately 20 minutes away, with services reaching London Victoria in around 30 minutes. There are two highly rated primary schools nearby, and the property is within a grammar school catchment area, with school coach services in both directions.

There's also the practical benefit of a substantial driveway, offering parking for more cars than a family of six is likely to need, together with an attached garage.

It's a lovely balance: a peaceful, attractive setting, plenty of space for the family and excellent connections when you need them.

2. Space for everyone, without losing the feeling of home

Five bedrooms, but what makes this house different is how the space has been arranged.

With two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, and three further bedrooms on the ground floor, including a principal bedroom with en suite, the layout offers remarkable flexibility.

Perhaps you have older children who would appreciate their own space. Maybe you need accommodation for extended family, visiting guests or simply a little more separation between different generations.

There is also a separate study, breakfast room, dining room and a generous double-height, open-plan reception and kitchen.

And importantly, there's a ground-floor shower room and utility room, adding further practicality to everyday family life.

It's a substantial, modern home, but one that still feels welcoming and comfortable.

There are spaces to come together, spaces to work, places for the children to play and, just as importantly, somewhere to retreat with a book or simply enjoy a little peace and quiet.

You don't have to choose between living together and having your own space. You can have both.

3. A garden and entertaining space you'll genuinely use

One of the real pleasures of this home is the relationship between the living space and the garden.

The open-plan kitchen and reception area looks out over an established garden, with bi-fold doors providing a natural connection between indoors and out.

Step outside onto an impressive 100 sq m patio, perfect for summer entertaining, family gatherings, outdoor dining or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee.

The established garden, complete with its own pond, provides a lovely setting and a sense of maturity that takes years to create.

Imagine having friends and family around on a summer evening, the doors open, children enjoying the garden and everyone having room to relax.

And when the occasion calls for something quieter, there are plenty of places to enjoy it.

A home that offers more than just five bedrooms

Ultimately, what makes this property special is the combination.

Possibly one of Hartley's prettiest private roads. Woodland walks on your doorstep. Convenient access to London. Excellent schooling options. Flexible accommodation across two floors. Generous parking, a garage, entertaining space and a garden that really complements the house.

It's modern, spacious and exceptionally versatile, yet retains that all-important feeling of being a home rather than simply a large house.

If you're looking for a home that gives you room to grow, room to entertain, room to escape and somewhere to enjoy life, this one deserves to be on your viewing list.
