For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in Old Downs, Hartley, Kent, DA3£1,100,000

One of two properties newly built in 2021 is this contemporary three bedroom detached home approaching 2,500 sq ft. It is tucked away in a private secluded location in the village of Hartley. Accessible via electric gates and a large driveway which allows off-road parking for 5-6 vehicles along with an electric charging point. Set in its own gated plot this individually designed home is built to exacting standards by its existing owner, the property is finished to an incredibly high specification throughout and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. On entering the property from its imposing entrance to the front of the home there is a well-appointed sitting room, the perfect space to wind down, or as a snug area for families. You will also find a room that is currently utilised as a home-office. Both of these rooms offer fantastic versatility, one could easily be used as a fourth bedroom or guest room depending on the new owner’s requirements. The spacious, open-plan kitchen-living-dining arrangement is definitely the hub of the house and one of the showpieces of this home, with bespoke fully fitted Krieder German kitchen and integrated appliances to include fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven and sink with a Quooker hot tap. The ceramic hob with integrated extractor is positioned in the large island which has space for four kitchen stools. This living space is the perfect space to entertain and to socialise, with a bespoke fitted media wall and a gas fireplace with marble surround/ cladding. Completing the ground floor is a spacious utility room and a downstairs WC which is completely kitted out with Lusso Stone fixtures and fittings. On approaching the first floor from the entrance hall, the property offers three double bedrooms and a large built in storage cupboard. The master suite spans the width of the property, complete with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a reading or “chill” area which currently accommodates 2 armchairs, a huge dressing room with Velux window and a stylish en-suite bathroom. This features separate bath and shower, wall-hung toilet and wash-hand basin, again, with all sanitary ware via Lusso Stone. Further touches include a heated towel rail, a Velux window/skylight and a tiled wall-recess with lighting for storage. Bedrooms two and three are again spacious doubles, both large enough to accommodate freestanding wardrobes and drawers, as well as king sized beds. These rooms offer further storage and dressing areas utilising a void behind the beds/headboards. A family bathroom completes the accommodation to the first floor, finished to the exacting high specification of the master en-suite to include a bath, walk-in shower, wall-hung toilet, sink, heated towel rail, and two Velux skylights/windows. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, not only allow for an abundance of natural light to the living-dining space but also provide access to the beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance rear garden. The space features a large patio area with a bespoke solid metal gazebo matching the window frames, offering a space to sit and enjoy the garden. The final addition to this build project is a garden room with bi-folding doors and storage cupboard, currently used for a therapy room. The space could easily be used as a home-gym or office as suitable alternatives. Returning to the specification of this home, the detailing is endless including the downstairs where the property offers stunning Herringbone LVT flooring which extends to the majority of the living space and kitchen with underfloor heating throughout. There are Rhino black aluminium exterior windows/doors, modern black fire safety rated internal doors with brushed chrome door handles, Heos Speaker system along with an alarm and CCTV system. Located in its quiet leafy setting adjacent to woodland this property is ideal for those that enjoy walking as you can step out of your boundary and have immediate access from this haven to some beautiful countryside on your doorstep, yet the benefit of local amenities at the end of the cul-de-sac, this true gem of a home is situated in its own oasis and is offered to market with the rare benefit of vacant possession.
