Substantial private plot, village location and versatile family living with extension potential.
Five bedrooms including two loft doubles and flexible ground-floor rooms
Set back on a substantial, private plot in Hartley, this five-bedroom chalet bungalow blends roomy ground-floor living with two loft bedrooms — ideal for growing families who need flexible space. The property offers an integral garage, off-road parking for several cars and a large, manageable rear garden with patio, pond and mature screening.
Ground-floor accommodation includes two double bedrooms, bay-fronted dining room, through-lounge with multi-fuel burner, modern kitchen and a long utility linking to the garage. The loft conversion provides two further double bedrooms with eaves storage and a separate shower room — useful as teen or guest accommodation. The home is neutrally decorated and double-glazed.
Notable positives include excellent local schools within walking distance, convenient village shops, and fast rail access nearby at Longfield and Ebbsfleet International. The plot offers scope for a rear extension (subject to planning) to create contemporary open-plan living.
Material drawbacks are clear and factual: the house uses oil-fired central heating (not communal), the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, broadband speeds are reported slow, ceilings are generally low to standard, and council tax is in a higher band. Prospective buyers should budget for ongoing running costs and potential insulation or heating upgrades.
