Description
34 Havillands Place is a light-filled and well-arranged contemporary Kentish-style home with brick and weatherboard elevations and well-proportioned rooms with tall, coved ceilings, set within a desirable residential area in sought-after Wye.
The airy central entrance hall, with its cloakroom and stairway, opens first to the generous 23 ft sitting room which has a fireplace, square walk-in bay window and double doors opening into the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining room. With garden views, this sociable space comprises a range of tasteful wall and base cabinetry, work surfaces and integrated appliances, with a breakfast bar, an adjacent well-appointed utility and ample dining space. Completing the ground floor is a peaceful front-facing study.
The first floor is home to four good-sized bedrooms with various picturesque, elevated aspects, branching off the central landing, together with a modern family bathroom. Three of the bedrooms benefit from bespoke fitted wardrobes, including the principal, which also enjoys the use of a contemporary en suite shower room.
The home is approached via a brick-laid driveway beside a stocked shrub border, leading up to the attached garage. Climbers adorn the façade, whilst a pair of side gates flow through to the pretty south-facing garden which spans the width of the home, enclosed by fencing.
There is a rear paved terrace and a stone-laid seating area further, with a large expanse of lush lawn featuring a variety of colourful herbaceous borders and planting.
The property is situated on the Havillands development on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Wye. Residents of Havillands benefit from a three-acre meadow area, providing a wonderful extension to their gardens. This has been carefully designed by a professional ecologist, creating a superb space for adults and children alike.
