3 bed detached house for sale

Arthur Maybury Close, Ashford TN23

Some locations make life easier.

Repton Park is one of them.

Over the years it has become one of Ashford's highly regarded places to live, and it's easy to understand why. Shops, schools for all ages and lovely country walks are all just a short stroll away, so the everyday essentials are close at hand while the countryside is never far away.

Even Ashford town centre is only around half an hour on foot, making it perfectly achievable if you're keeping an eye on your steps, while cycling makes the journey quicker still.

It's that balance that makes Repton Park so appealing.

Convenience when you want it.

Countryside when you don't.

But, of course, we don't live outside.

The house has to deliver too.

And this three-bedroom detached home does.

It's particularly well suited to anyone looking to downsize without leaving an area they already know and love, but it also offers something that can be surprisingly difficult to find these days: The freedom of being detached.

No adjoining wall.

No wondering whether the music is travelling through next door.

So play the music. Put on the home cinema. Turn the film up until the sofa vibrates.

You're detached.

Nobody's coming round to complain.

Inside, the entrance hall immediately gives you a sense that this isn't a home where space has been squeezed simply to create another bedroom.

It's large and welcoming, with a substantial storage cupboard that will happily swallow the vacuum cleaner, coats, shoes and all the other things that otherwise seem to find their way into hallways.

There's also a downstairs cloakroom, always useful and particularly welcome when guests are over.

The lounge provides a comfortable space to relax or entertain, but the real highlight of the ground floor is the kitchen diner.

It's a generous room with plenty of space for a proper dining table, while the breakfast bar creates somewhere to sit with a coffee, catch up on the day or keep whoever is cooking company.

It's the sort of room that works equally well for everyday life and having friends and family over.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms.

And importantly, they're all properly useful rooms.

You could accommodate a double bed in each without having to turn the furniture into a geometry exercise, giving you plenty of flexibility depending on how you want to use the space.

The main bedroom is the largest and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms could comfortably work as guest rooms, offices, dressing rooms or bedrooms, depending on what life requires.

The family bathroom completes the first floor. It's a three-piece bathroom with the added benefit of its own window, bringing in natural light and ventilation.

Outside, there's a flat, rectangular garden.

It isn't the sunniest garden, and that's worth knowing, but what it lacks in sunshine it makes up for in practicality. It's level, easy to use and provides a straightforward outside space without slopes, steps or difficult levels to negotiate. It actually makes for the perfect mini football pitch. The garden also has a recessed ”nook” on the rear left side which is currently home to a shed. There is potential for a bigger shed, cabin or workshop here - ideal storage for bikes, outdoor equipment and all the other things that tend to accumulate when you actually make use of the countryside on your doorstep.

There's also a car port providing covered parking for two vehicles to the left of the property.

And that's really the appeal of this house.

It gives you options.

You can walk to the shops.

Walk the children to school.

Head out into the countryside.

Walk into town.

Cycle when you're in a hurry.

And then come home to a detached house where you have your own space, your own walls and a little more freedom to live exactly as you want to.

For someone downsizing, it's a chance to stay somewhere familiar without feeling as though you're compromising on independence.

For someone buying a family home, it's a chance to have three useful bedrooms, generous living space and the convenience of Repton Park with everything on your doorstep.

It's a really good combination.

Close to everything.

Close to nature.

And, importantly, detached from the neighbours.
