For Sale5 Bedroom Detached Bungalow in Longends Bungalow, Marden£1,000,000

What the owners say: This delightful property has been in the family for the past 35 years and it has been a great place to bring up our children, but the time has come to downsize and let someone else experience what we have and take forward and improve on what we have done.  During our time here we have converted the upper floor, extended the lounge, added a utility room and conservatory.  We installed the log burner and new double glazing in 2022, including the bi-fold doors and fan lights in the conservatory. We also had planning permission to build a double garage and a workshop, and the footings and concrete base have already been created.  We love the location as we can enjoy the countryside and the abundance of wildlife.  Although we have neighbours nearby, we stand completely on our own with fabulous views of the countryside.  There are miles of public footpaths within walking distance, so ideal if you love walking or have dogs. In fact, we enjoy the area so much we will only be moving as far as Marden village, which is only two miles from Collier Street.  Location Collier Street is a small rural village, with an excellent primary school, playing field and church. Marden village is conveniently accessible by road and public footpaths. It has a thriving community and is situated within an attractive pastoral landscape with a long history.  The village includes three convenience stores, a post office, butcher, surgery, library, chemist, gift shop and a quaint coffee shop.  From Marden mainline station, you can be at London Bridge in just over 40 minutes.  There is also an excellent primary school, a cricket and hockey club, bowls club, a junior football team and the memorial hall.  The village club hosts a number of activities, and you can enjoy a stroll in the nearby Marden Meadows, which is a site of Special Scientific Interest. As well as the local primary school there are additional education facilities, including first class grammar and independent schools, in Maidstone, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Paddock Wood and Tonbridge, where you will also find quality shops, supermarkets, restaurants, hospitals, cinemas and theatres.
