Property Information

Built in a colonial style, 'Longfield' is a substantial residence occupying a 0.41 acre plot, sat behind wide frontage and approached via a long sweeping driveway.
With its weather boarded facade and pillared porch with balcony to front, this distinctive home alludes to the white-washed houses of New England and is situated within in a prestigious location with distant views of woodland and surrounding countryside.
Internally, the property provides wonderfully spacious accommodation with all rooms of elegant proportion. Most notably, the stunning kitchen/breakfast and family room which proves to be the social fulcrum of this family home. High quality cabinetry is complemented by Corian worktops and designer integrated appliances. In addition there is a separate formal dining room, large living room, cloakroom and a utility room.
The first floor presents four superb double bedrooms, the principal bedroom benefitting from en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms has an adjoining room which is currently used as a lounge/study whilst another is on a split level with a dressing area/study.
A large south facing balcony is accessed from the landing, from where beautiful views across the nearby woodland and conservation area can be enjoyed - idyllic on a summers day or evening.
Sumptuous gardens to front and rear offer wonderful areas for all of the family to enjoy. The house sits 141' (42.95m) back from the road and an attached double garage lies to the side of the property.
All in all, a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire 'The Dream Family Home' in a beautiful location. Call the exclusive sole agents, Kent Estate Agencies to book you viewing today.
