*** guide price £425,000 - £450,000 ***

Offered to the market with the benefit of no forward chain, and on a quiet road within the village of Istead Rise is this well presented, 3/4 bedroom semi-detached chalet bungalow.

Extended historically and with a loft conversion, the property is finished to turn-key standards, with no immediate work required.

There is ample off-road parking, with a block-paved driveway for 2-3 cars, and a lawned front garden. There is an extended attached car-port/garage, enabling further tandem-parking for two vehicles, or a great space for storage.

Downstairs, the property offers an entrance hall, with two double bedrooms to the front – one featuring a large built-in wardrobe.

There is a bright and spacious, extended through-lounge, with feature fireplace, wood effect flooring and an opening to a contemporary fitted kitchen. From both the kitchen and the lounge-diner, there are doors to the tiered rear garden.

There is a versatile room to the end of the entrance hallway. Currently used as a home office area, this could make a nursery, walk-in wardrobe, dressing room or utility space. Completing the accommodation on the ground floor are a stylish bathroom, fully tiled and featuring separate bath, shower, basin and heated towel rail, with a separate WC next door.

Upstairs, a loft conversion with rear dormer has created a further double bedroom. With generous proportions, this offers plenty of natural light and built in wardrobes within the eaves. To the top of the staircase, there is also access to the remainder (front) of the loft. Within this space, there could even be potential (STPP) to add a further room or an en-suite shower/bathroom.

Further benefits to the home include gas central heating and double glazing, throughout.

To the rear, there is a low-maintenance rear garden, split across three main tiers and separated by retaining walls. The lower tier is laid as a patio and is a suitable space on which to sit or dine. The second tier is again laid with slabs, whilst the top tier is laid to lawn, with additional planting space to the rear.

The property is within walking distance of the village amenities, those including a Co-Op, a pharmacy, a doctor’s surgery and a dental practice, as well as dine-in and takeaway Fish & Chip and Indian eateries.

For families, local primary schools and two nurseries are within easy reach, including both Istead Rise & Meopham. There are school coach services to Gravesend and Mayfield Grammar schools, with Meopham Secondary school also within close proximity. The village boasts a community centre which is warm and welcoming, offering many activities from a baby and toddler group, to coffee mornings for the locals.

Whilst Meopham station offers a direct service to London Victoria, Ebbsfleet International Train station is also just a short drive away, for those who may require a High-Speed link to London. Bluewater Shopping centre is also just a few junctions along the nearby A2.

Supermarkets at Pepper Hill (Sainsbury) or Coldharbour (Morrisons and Lidl) are also within easy reach.
