Private roof terrace off second bedroom for quiet outdoor space

Set down a private tree-lined lane near central Maidstone, this spacious detached house offers flexible living for growing families. The ground-floor open-plan kitchen with breakfast, dining and family zones and side bi-fold doors creates a bright social hub for everyday life and entertaining. A semi-open sitting room with contemporary log burner and sliding doors opens onto a south-facing rear garden — a comfortable mix of indoor and outdoor spaces through the seasons.
Upstairs, the principal suite includes a walk-in dressing area and en suite, with three further bedrooms and a private roof terrace off one bedroom for a quiet retreat. A versatile ground-floor room currently used as a study could serve as a fifth bedroom or playroom. Practical benefits include a larger-than-usual garage and a wide gravel driveway providing generous off-street parking.
Buyers should note the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has double glazing installed before 2002 and assumed cavity wall construction without added insulation. These factors, plus slow broadband speeds and a higher council tax band, are tangible running and upgrade considerations. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; no major structural issues or flood risk are reported.
Positioned in Penenden Heath, the home is within walking distance of green spaces, tennis courts and highly regarded schools (including a top-ranked grammar). Commuters benefit from easy M20 access, Maidstone East nearby and a reasonable drive to Ebbsfleet International for high-speed London services. For families seeking space, privacy and strong local amenities, this property combines immediate liveability with sensible scope for modernisation.
