Semi-detached house for sale in The Street, Boughton-Under-Blean ME13

Raised considerably above the level of the road below this wonderful family home features far reaching views that you can only achieve with an elevated position. The current owners have thoroughly enjoyed over 20 years in the property, and it has been a great place for them to raise their children. This property really has a very homely feel about it and is filled with natural light and stunning views from every room.

From the road, the first aspect of the house to strike you is the beautiful tiered garden with mature shrubs that has been excellently maintained by the current owners. In actuality the owners very rarely use the front entrance to the home, as there is a private parking and garage at the rear of the property. As such they primarily use the rear entrance to the home. With this you enter have a gate to divide the parking and the garden with the immaculate natural stone patio leading you straight to the rear lobby. As you enter through the home there is a gorgeous parquet floor which flows through the majority of the ground floor. On your right hand side is a storage room/utility space which offers potential to be used for so much more. Through the lobby leads to the dining room, and then through to the separate lounge at the front with an enormous window that floods the room with light. Also off the dining room is the kitchen. There is huge potential here and subject to relevant building approvals would be lovely to be opened out to incorporate the current kitchen. From the kitchen there is then a hallway leading to the front door, along with a WC and a porch area at the front.

A beautiful staircase with a large window looking out bathes the first floor landing with natural light. There is the family bathroom at the top of the stairs, featuring a three piece bath suite and shower overhead. The landing then leads you past the fourth bedroom which is a generous single, the third bedroom which is a long double bedroom and has built in storage and the master bedroom at the front of the property, again with large built in storage. A staircase then takes you up to the second floor. On the right of the stairs is a generous storage space in the eaves. The staircase opens into a large reception room which works very well as an office, and then leads through to the final double bedroom. This second bedroom offers the best of the views, and on a clear day even the coastline is visible. It is lovely and bright with double aspect and fitted wardrobes built in too.

Externally the owners take pride in their garden, and have created a tranquil and peaceful haven, with a nice mix of lawn, patio and shrubbery. The garage features power and lighting and with it having a pitched roof, there is additional storage in the loft section, accessed by a hatch in the front elevation.

The location is ideal for anyone who needs to commute to London with quick access to the M2 and only a short drive to Faversham to the west and Canterbury to the east which are both home to a number of amenities.
