We asked the vendors about their fantastic family home and this is what they had to say. In our opinion this really gives you a feel for this wonderful house.

What attracted you to the property when you bought it ?

We as a family decided that a change of scenery would be good. A semi-rural location but with good links to London and surrounding areas. The train station is a 7-minute walk so this was perfect.

We knew we wanted a property that needed little or no work done to it with an easy-to-manage garden. We had completely remodeled our previous home and didn't want to go through that process again. A new build fitted our requirements perfectly. We were attracted to the house because it felt spacious, airy, and modern. We particularly liked the kitchen diner as it had the "Wow" factor with its abundance of space and proportion. We also liked how it opened out into the walled garden, making it perfect for entertaining. Both the kitchen/diner and lounge are very generous proportions which we like very much - the sense of space is very good.

We liked the look of the house from the outside. The dual aspect makes it quite attractive and the lawn area at the front provides curb appeal.

We loved the utility room as we didn't have one before. It's been very useful.

We were thrilled to have an ensuite. We have enjoyed the benefits of that.

What improvements have you made to the house ?

We have installed all new lights throughout the house. There are up-lighters on the outside of the house and around the garden.

Installed lights around the garage.

Fitted a workstation/home office unit to one end of the lounge as I work from home a few days a week.

Fitted wardrobes/units to the master bedroom.

Fitted wardrobes/units to bedroom 4.

Fitted wooden shutters to the lounge and kitchen.

We have completely re-designed the garden. We wanted the garden to resemble a small quaint "Pub garden" and believe we have achieved this with the festoon lights finishing the look.

Decorated the downstairs cloakroom.

What have you enjoyed about living there ?

The frequent social gatherings we were able to have - largely because of the kitchen/diner and the garden.

The sense of community and the friends we have made.

The easy access to the train station

The good restaurants and quaint pubs we've been able to visit both in the village and surrounding areas

The open spaces for the dogs. Staplehurst is a very dog-friendly village.

The new Sainsbury's opened a few months before we moved in. That has been a godsend for us
