Set on a large plot in one of Bearsted’s most desirable streets, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers generous family space across 2,688 sq ft. The house was built in 1997 and has been owner-occupied since then, presenting immediate liveability with potential to modernise key areas to current tastes. Two principal suites, a large kitchen/breakfast room and a conservatory provide flexible living for family life and entertaining.
Practical benefits include a double garage, wide driveway for multiple cars and easy walking distance to Bearsted Green and Bearsted train station, making it convenient for commuters. The location is close to several well-regarded primary and secondary schools, including two ranked in the top 10% locally, which will suit families prioritising education.
The garden and patio deliver strong outdoor entertaining potential, but buyers should note some exterior maintenance is needed — moss growth and general upkeep to the Tudor-revival brick and half-timbered frontage. Internally the accommodation is well-proportioned but reflects its 1990s origins; updating bathrooms, kitchen finishes or décor would add value and personalise the home.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold, gas central heated with double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and interested parties must verify services, fixtures and any planning/consent history. Overall this is a roomy, well-located family home with scope for cosmetic improvement and extension subject to checks.
