6 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Avenue, Gravesend, Kent DA11

Offered to the market with the rare benefit of no forward chain, and located on one of the most sought after roads within Gravesend is this outstanding, six bedroom, semi-detached family home.

Set across four floors and boasting over 3000sqft of versatile, well-maintained accommodation, this is a fantastic opportunity for large, growing, or potentially even multi-generational families – trumping many detached homes in the area in terms of its size and specification.

The double-fronted property, with a striking kerb appeal, occupies one of the larger plots within the road and has been completely transformed by its existing owners – now offering a unique combination of contemporary style and original, period features. Just some of these original features include high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and decorative cornicing, all helping to preserve its early 20th century charm.

Travel along the mosaic style pathway and the front, gravelled courtyard-style garden and you’ll reach the entrance porch, via double doors.

Through the main front door and to the ground floor, the property offers a large entrance hall with high ceilings. To the left of this, there is a cosy, well-appointed family room/snug, with large bay window allowing for plenty of natural light. Within this room, there is a feature fireplace and that gorgeous, decorative coving/cornicing.

To the right of the entrance hall, there is an incredibly spacious through lounge. This offers another feature fireplace and high ceilings, leading through to a versatile room at the rear, currently utilised as a home-gym but with the option to be used as a home-office area, a children’s play room, or similar. Double doors from this lead to the rear garden.

Behind the family room is a well appointed dining space. This boasts yet another feature fireplace with internal French doors that interconnect this space to the kitchen.

The stunning, open-plan kitchen/living/dining space sits within an extension to the rear of the home. Modernised to a high specification, this includes premium-brand appliances, underfloor heating, integrated speakers, and is truly the perfect space for everyday family life, or entertaining friends & family. In this area, skylights and bi-folding doors to the rear garden, again flood the space with natural light.

Added convenience is provided in the form of a downstairs WC and utility room/cupboard, sympathetically designed for ultimate practicality.

At first floor level, there are four, spacious double bedrooms. The master sits above the downstairs family room and thus enjoys the same bay window with natural light. With generous proportions, each of the rooms are large enough to accommodate super-King or Queen sized beds, with plenty of space for free-standing or fitted wardrobes. All of the rooms offer at least some element of fitted storage, with the room to the rear-left of the this floor, also including a basin/sink.

There is a versatile space which sits between the two largest, front-facing bedrooms. Currently utilised as a study space, this could easily become a dressing room, an en-suite, or another bathroom, given it has direct access from the first floor landing.

Within the extended part of the home and to the rear of the first floor are the wash rooms. There is an enormous, main/family bathroom which features standalone roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet and wash/hand basin. There is a separate shower room for convenience, and another separate WC, each helping to save that morning rush!

To the top floor, a loft conversion has enabled a further two rooms. The larger of the two rooms is another spacious double but is again used as a home office space, by the current owners. With a large dormer window to its rear, this enjoys views over the rear garden. The final (sixth) room is used as a guest room and offers access to the eaves storage.

Further benefits to the home include gas central heating, plus period sash windows, enhanced with modern fitted blinds. There is Karndean flooring to a number of the rooms within the property, offering durability and a premium finish throughout the main living areas. There is also a further loft space for storage, located at the top of the stairs to the top/loft floor. There is also a spacious cellar, accessible via a door and staircase from the extended kitchen-living-dining space.

Externally, there is a tranquil rear garden that includes an area of stylish, composite decking – the ideal space on which to soak up the sun, relax, or for outdoor/alfresco dining. The largest proportion is laid to lawn, surrounded by a “moat” style patio and some mature border beds & plants. Further mature trees & shrubs to the boundary help add to the privacy on offer.

For the benefit of the residents there is further, on-street, resident permit parking, with a controlled zone applicable between the hours of 11am til noon, Monday-Friday, ensuring there is ample parking.

The Avenue itself is a prestigious, peaceful, tree-lined road with a strong community feel. It is located just seconds from Mayfield (Girls) Grammar, and is also within easy reach of Gravesend Grammar School for boys.

The Town Centre is within walking distance, offering a wide variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, banks, cafes, healthcare facilities and gymnasiums. Further, there is a mainline train station which offers a High Speed rail link to London in under 25 minutes.
