4 bed detached house for sale

Spring Lane, Fordwich CT2

​

Situated in the heart of the historic and highly sought-after town of Fordwich, Keepers is a rarely available and beautifully positioned detached home in Spring Lane, a quiet residential no-through road and offers generous and versatile accommodation set within a peaceful residential setting.

Owned by the same family for over 40 years, this much-loved home presents a wonderful opportunity for its next chapter, offered to the market with no onward chain.

Keepers has been thoughtfully extended to create a spacious two-storey home, now offering well-balanced and versatile accommodation ideal for modern family living.

The ground floor provides a welcoming layout and impresses from the outset with an inviting and broad entrance hall, enhanced by beautiful original parquet flooring which itself adds warmth and character throughout the living spaces. There are two large reception rooms with the dining area and lounge, both with parquet flooring also. The sunken lounge boasts a log burner to help create that cosy feel. The dining area offers double patio doors to meet with the rear, outside stone patio with space for sun lounges beneath the large, retractable sunblinds. Additionally, there is a convenient cloakroom off the entrance hall.

On the ground floor, there are two double bedrooms, both of which have an airy and open atmosphere. The rear bedroom looks towards the pond and field beyond; the front bedroom looks towards the front garden and peaceful lane. Both bedrooms delight in large and low windows to encourage the outside views to feel present. Between the bedrooms is a family bathroom with shower and bath.

Upstairs, there has been created two additional well-proportioned rooms, bringing the total to four generous double bedrooms making the home perfectly suited for families or those seeking flexible living arrangements. Additionally, there is another further family bathroom with bath and shower.

There is also plenty of potential to extend further into the loft at either end, above the lounge and back bedroom. This could result in a number of large rooms potentially looking towards the back garden.

The property enjoys a south-facing rear garden, not overlooked, offering a private and sun-filled outdoor space-ideal for entertaining, relaxing and family use. The plot itself is well-sized and established, providing a lovely balance of greenery and usability. There is excellent potential to further extend the property to the rear, subject to requirements and the appropriate permission being granted. The roof is old Kent peg tiles to ensure its sympathetic appearance in this historic area.
