Spacious three-bedroom home with garden, garage/store and great transport links.
Extended 1967 detached house with substantial ground-floor living space
This extended three-bedroom detached house in Shearwater, New Barn, blends 1960s solidity with modern living. Ground-floor extension creates a generous kitchen/dining/breakfast room, separate sitting room and family room/study—ideal for family life, home working or flexible living. An attached garage has been converted to storage while the driveway provides practical off-street parking.
Upstairs offers three well-proportioned bedrooms (two with built-in storage) served by a contemporary family shower bathroom. The established, secluded rear garden is low-maintenance and private, a pleasant space for children or entertaining. The property is presented well throughout and benefits from mains gas central heating plus air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Transport links and local amenities are strong: Longfield station is nearby with direct services to London and Ebbsfleet International, and there are reputable primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The setting is quiet and family-oriented, with countryside walks and village amenities close by.
Important practical points: council tax is above average and the property has a single main family bathroom, which may be limiting for larger households. Double glazing was fitted before 2002, and buyers should note the house’s 1967 construction when considering long-term maintenance or upgrades. Overall, this is a roomy, well-located family home with clear potential for further improvement.
