Milstead, Kent

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom detached family home, built in 1990 and occupying an exceptional 0.97 acre plot in a highly sought-after and rarely available village location.

Lovingly maintained by the current vendor, this attractive property offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, making it an ideal family home. The property has been thoughtfully upgraded in recent years and benefits from fitted carpets throughout, a Kinetico water softener, filtered cold water system to the kitchen, and a greenhouse with electricity supply and concrete base.

To the first floor is a spacious galleried landing, principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles and leading to an adjoining double garage. The garage benefits from electric roller shutter doors, a fitted workbench, storage units, lighting and power sockets. The extensive rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enjoys a generous paved patio extending to two sides of the property, complemented by a brick-built barbecue, creating an excellent space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The grounds also include a greenhouse, set on a concrete base and served by water butts, together with a substantial stable/outbuilding block, erected in 1999, which benefits from both power and water supplies.

The property’s rural surroundings provide a wonderfully peaceful and private setting, with the substantial plot offering attractive views across the adjoining land and an opportunity to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
