House For Sale £725,000
If you are looking for a spacious detached family home with a large garden that is in a semi-rural location, but still within easy reach of London then look no further. This beautifully presented property was built in 2019 and is situated on an exclusive gated development with just seven other properties and borders farmland. The layout is ideal for modern living with a large kitchen-breakfast-dining room that opens to the sunny rear garden and is ideal for entertaining. In addition, there are two reception rooms, great if you need a separate family room, perhaps for older children to watch a film or play on their games consoles! In addition to the main bedroom which has a walk-through wardrobe area and en-suite, there are four other good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a shower room on the top floor so this is ideal for a larger family. The plot is bigger than most new properties and has plenty of space to extend to the side (stp) later if the need arises. Parking shouldn't be an issue as there is a double garage with parking for two cars in front accessed via the private drive and electric 5 bar gate. We strongly recommend an early viewing as we expect this fabulous family home to generate a lot of interest.
The property is situated in an exclusive gated development with just seven other detached houses, bordering farmland in this sought after location. Boughton Monchelsea is a sprawling village on the Southern side of Maidstone. It is well connected to the town yet still offers a sense of being in the countryside. There are many public footpaths that criss-cross the rural landscape including the famous Greensand Way, a picturesque 108-mile trail along the Greensand Ridge. In the local area, you can enjoy a walk around the gardens of Boughton Monchelsea Place (summer only), play cricket at Linton Park Cricket Club a couple of minutes away by car, or visit the lovely Buttercups Goat Sanctuary. Further afield you have the lovely Leeds castle with its year-round events programme, just 12 minutes away by car. Golfers are spoilt for choice locally with 18 hole courses at Leeds Castle, Bearsted Golf Club, and Tudor Park Marriot Hotel and Country Club, all within a 15-minute drive. The Bull Inn is a few minutes away by car (0.9 miles) and has a selection of cask and keg ales, serves food and host functions, and the garden with spectacular far-reaching views is the perfect place to enjoy a warm summer evening. For a unique dining experience, you have The Curious Eatery which is also around 3 minutes away in the car (0.7 miles) and welcomes all the family to enjoy their fun eatery. For children's education, the property is conveniently located just opposite The Cornwallis Academy secondary school (rated good in all areas at latest Ofsted inspection). The highly sought-after Loose Primary School is just 5 minutes away by car (1.5 miles) and was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2016 prior to it becoming an academy with many children in the neighbouring properties attending the school. Sutton Valence is the next neighbouring village and has a well-renowned independent school. Commuters to London can drive to Ebbsfleet International (around 30 minutes by car) and jump on the regular high-speed to trains that whisk you to London St Pancras from 17 minutes or drive around 12 minutes (5.1 miles) to Marden station with services to London Bridge in 47 minutes.
Owners Remarks:-We fell in love with the house being able to have the rural feel which we craved and yet still being close to a town with great London commuter links. This plot was the showhome and had a larger-than-expected garden and a fantastic spec and finish compared to other new properties that we viewed. We were the last people to move in and happened to be in the right place at the right time as it came back onto the market after the developers were let down by a previous buyer, just as we were ready to proceed. It's a great house for entertaining and we've hosted lots of BBQs and parties with family and friends. We've become good friends with the neighbours and it is great being part of such a tight-knit gated community- we think all being directors of the management company helps this. We will be sad to leave but are looking to pursue our long-term dream of moving to an even more rural location.
