Introducing this rare opportunity to purchase a much-loved family home with enormous potential, generous proportions, and a highly desirable plot.

This substantial four-bedroom detached home is positioned on a rare double plot on a quiet residential road. Featuring an in and out driveway offering ample off-street parking, the property has been extended and adapted over time, and now offers generous accommodation with huge potential for further improvement and expansion.

The ground floor offers three generously sized reception rooms - ideal for family living or entertaining. One of which could easily serve as a fifth bedroom, home office, or a living room. Flowing from the other reception room is a dedicated dining area that opens directly onto the expansive garden, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. There is also a WC serving this floor by the main entrance.

A double garage has been cleverly divided to create a modern utility room and an updated downstairs shower room, both thoughtfully integrated to serve modern family needs.

The kitchen area offers excellent potential for reconfiguration and extension. With side and rear extensions already in place and room for a low ground floor wraparound extension, this property offers outstanding possibilities to expand further (subject to planning) to create a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/family space overlooking the garden.

Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms. One large double includes built-in storage units and a dresser, while a smaller double also benefits from integrated wardrobes. The remaining two bedrooms are spacious enough to accommodate king-size beds and also include built-in wardrobes with space for additional furnishings. A generous family bathroom completes the first floor.

The expansive loft space offers exciting potential to be converted into a luxurious master suite, complete with an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe (subject to the necessary permissions).

The rear garden is a standout feature—spacious, private, and versatile. Whether you envision a tranquil retreat, children’s play area, or an ideal setting for entertaining, this garden offers both the space and privacy to make it happen.

While some modernisation is required, the property benefits from key upgrades including double glazing, modern heating, and a welcoming front porch. It provides a solid foundation for buyers seeking a forever home with scope to personalise and grow into.

Situated in the well-established Riverview Park community, the home enjoys proximity to a range of local amenities including Tesco Express, Morrisons Daily, several takeaways, a local pub, dentist, doctor’s surgery, and pharmacy. Cascades Leisure Centre and Gravesend Golf Centre are also nearby.

Location Highlights:

• Gravesend Railway Station is a short distance, serving both National Rail and High Speed service links to London.
• Fastrack bus services offer dedicated links to Ebbsfleet International, Dartford, Bluewater, and Greenhithe.
• Excellent road links via the A2/M2 and nearby M25 provide easy access to London.
• Families will appreciate the variety of educational options close to home such as Riverview Infant & Junior School, and Gravesend and Mayfield Grammar Schools.

This delightful home blends traditional character with exciting potential, making it a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a well-built property with space to make it their own.
