3 bed detached house for sale

Waltham Road, Waltham CT4

An especially pretty detached house of two/three bedrooms, beautifully positioned in one of the most unspoilt corners of the North Downs in East Kent. The property enjoys a southerly aspect, flooding the interior with light throughout the day and offering uninterrupted, panoramic views across rolling farmland and ancient woodland. From this idyllic setting, you can watch magnificent sunrises and sunsets, each one a little different from the last.

The property has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years, combining character and comfort with a sense of peaceful seclusion.

Accommodation: On the ground floor, a welcoming double-aspect sitting room features a log-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, while the kitchen/diner includes a second stove and connects conveniently to a useful utility room. There are also two comfortable bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The spacious side porch doubles as a breakfast area, providing another lovely space to enjoy the ever-changing rural views over the fields.

Upstairs, the glazed gable-end sitting room/bedroom is the showpiece of the house, its wide picture window frames a stunning view over the North Downs National Landscape and the attractively planted roof below. This versatile space could be used as a bedroom or sitting room and benefits from external stairs providing separate access, offering flexibility for guests.

Outside: The delightful cottage gardens blend seamlessly into the surrounding countryside, enclosed by low hedges and alive with birdsong and wildlife. Mature trees, colourful planting, and a lovely summerhouse complete the tranquil setting.

A solid brick-built outbuilding offers additional space, ideal as a home office, studio, or occasional accommodation.
