Fine & Country presents this handsome 1930s detached family home, a substantial and beautifully balanced residence occupying a generous plot within the highly regarded village of Bearsted. Thoughtfully extended and carefully enhanced over the years, the property retains much of the character and architectural appeal synonymous with its era, whilst benefiting from a series of carefully considered improvements that have created a home perfectly suited to contemporary family living. Arranged across two floors, the accommodation extends to approximately 2,848 square feet.

From the moment of arrival, the architectural appeal of the house is immediately apparent. Striking bay windows, elegant proportions and a traditionally crafted façade create a strong first impression, while inside, high ceilings, generous room dimensions and an abundance of natural light combine to create an atmosphere of warmth and understated sophistication.

The welcoming entrance hall provides an inviting introduction to the home and sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. At the heart of the property lies a beautifully appointed Shaker style kitchen, a room designed not only for culinary creativity but also for bringing people together. Thoughtfully arranged with a range of integrated appliances, extensive cabinetry and a central island, the kitchen enjoys a bright double aspect and flows seamlessly into the adjoining dining area, creating a sociable environment equally suited to busy family mornings and relaxed entertaining.

Beyond the dining area lies an impressive wraparound conservatory, a light filled garden room currently arranged as a series of informal seating areas. Enjoying pleasant views across the grounds, it provides an excellent extension to the principal living space and creates a seamless connection between the house and garden.

Equally impressive is the principal reception room, a particularly generous living space that has been carefully arranged to provide both formal and informal areas. The elegant sitting room is framed by an imposing bay window and enhanced by bespoke fitted cabinetry and an attractive fireplace that forms a warm focal point for the room. Accompanying this space is a more relaxed snug area, perfectly suited to family evenings, television viewing or quiet conversation. Together, the arrangement creates a room that feels both impressive and inviting, capable of adapting effortlessly to every occasion.

Complementing the accommodation are a useful utility room, a well proportioned study ideal for home working, and a cloakroom.

The first floor continues the home’s sense of space and practicality, comprising five generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a well appointed en suite bath and shower room, while bedroom two also enjoys the convenience of its own en suite facilities. The remaining three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, ensuring comfortable accommodation for families of all sizes.

Outside, the gardens represent one of the property’s most impressive attributes. Beautifully landscaped and enjoying an excellent degree of privacy, the grounds are arranged to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces. Expansive lawns are interspersed with prolifically stocked flower beds, mature planting and specimen trees, while meandering pathways lead through the garden and connect a variety of seating areas. Stone sun terraces provide ideal settings for al fresco dining and summer entertaining, with established boundaries softening the outlook and creating a wonderfully secluded backdrop.

A timber garden room provides valuable additional flexibility and could serve equally well as a home office, creative studio, reading retreat or children’s playhouse.

To the front, a generous driveway provides convenient parking for numerous vehicles, while the integrated double garage offers secure parking and excellent storage. Subject to the necessary permissions, the garage may also present potential for conversion into additional living accommodation if required.
