Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac in Hawkinge, this exceptional five-bedroom detached family home offers versatile living spread across three floors, complete with a double-length garage, driveway parking, and a delightful west-facing garden.

Upon entering, you are greeted by an inviting hallway leading to a convenient ground-floor WC. The heart of the home is the impressive dual-aspect lounge, extending over 23ft, featuring engineered wood flooring and French doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a bright and airy space perfect for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room includes an integrated oven, grill, and dishwasher, offering ample workspace. Adjacent to the kitchen, a separate dining room provides a dedicated area for family meals or can adapt as an additional study space. A separate utility room offers practical storage and laundry facilities.

The flexible accommodation continues on the upper floors. The first floor hosts three spacious double bedrooms, two of which benefit from private en-suite facilities, alongside a dedicated family bathroom. Ascending to the top floor, you will find two further substantial double bedrooms sharing an additional bathroom, providing an ideal, almost self-contained, arrangement. A bright landing space on this level offers potential as a study nook or reading area.

Externally, the west-facing garden is a true sun trap, particularly in the afternoons and evenings. It features new composite decking, perfect for alfresco dining and relaxation. For those with a green thumb, a greenhouse and a dedicated growing area are found in the corner. The property uniquely benefits from a double-length (tandem) garage, offering excellent storage solutions and boarded space above, complemented by additional driveway parking.

Positioned just a short stroll from a children's playground, this home is ideally situated for families. Hawkinge itself is a popular location, offering two primary schools, a range of shops and amenities, and two local pubs, all within easy reach. The area also provides convenient links to Folkestone’s secondary schools, stunning coastal walks, and high-speed rail services to London.
