Popular Village Location

Offered to the market with the benefit of no forward chain and located on a sought after road within the village of New Barn, is this 2/3 bedroom, semi-detached bungalow.
Occupying a generous plot, the property is a fantastic option for downsizers looking for village life, or perhaps those looking to extend, modernise and reconfigure.
The property comes with ample off road parking, in the form of a driveway for at least three cars, and a single garage to the rear. There is a lawned front garden, where there is potential to further extend the driveway, should this be your preference.
Internally, the home is of generous proportions. There are two bedrooms to the front, one of which is a spacious double with fitted storage; the other a slightly smaller single.
There is a large, open lounge-diner, which enjoys plenty of natural light, and views out on to the substantial rear garden, with a door for access. This room currently connects to a versatile room, utilised as a more formal dining space by the current owners, but offering the potential to be used as another double bedroom. This is also accessible from the hallway.
A separate fitted kitchen with a small lean-to extension beyond, can be found at the rear of the home. The lean-to again offers access to the garden, thus making a perfect boot room or utility area.
Completing the internal accommodation is a modernised shower-room. Fully fitted with aqua-panel walls, this includes a toilet, a wash/hand basin, walk-in shower cubicle and heated towel rail. The shower cubicle is fitted with seat and grab-rails, handy for those with accessibility or mobility considerations.
Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing throughout and a huge loft space for storage. Subject to the necessary permissions, this also boasts potential for conversion/extension, as does the rear of the home.
Externally, the rear garden enjoys a sunny, Southerly orientation. There is a patio and a pathway, leading to a rear door to the garage and a side gate. The main proportion is laid-to-lawn but there are some mature trees, shrubs and well planted beds. There are also two greenhouses and a storage shed, for convenience. Given the size of the garden, a large rear extension (STPP) would still leave you with ample space, and would offer the potential for a more contemporary, open-plan kitchen/living/dining arrangement.
New Barn is well positioned for the amenities of Longfield Village. These include Longfield train station, which offers regular services to London Victoria and the Kent coast. Further, there is a Waitrose Supermarket, a Co-Op, a Post-office, independent stores to include a butcher, a bakery, hair and nail salons, two barber shops and numerous dine-in/takeaway eateries. For added convenience, there is also a Doctor’s surgery, a Dental practice, and a pharmacy.
Road links to the A2, M25, M2 and M20 are all within easy reach, as is Ebbsfleet International train station, offering High Speed services to Stratford International and St Pancras International, both in under 25 minutes.
