Set back in an expansive plot in Collier Street, this renovated four-bedroom detached house blends Victorian character with generous, family-friendly space. The living accommodation totals approximately 3,327 sqft and includes two loft rooms, a large kitchen with solid granite worktops and walk-in pantry, separate dining and study, and a substantial sitting room with an inglenook fireplace. The house benefits from newly fitted double glazing and well-landscaped front and rear gardens with private driveway parking.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is chain free and freehold, heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators. The solid brick walls are original and assumed to lack insulation, which, together with oil heating, may affect running costs compared with modern systems. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The location suits families seeking countryside living close to good primary and secondary schools, and it sits about five miles from Paddock Wood mainline station for commuter links.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a high flood-risk area, and the solid-wall construction may require insulation upgrades. These points are important for insurance, long-term running costs, and any future renovation planning. Overall, the house offers substantial period charm, generous rooms and gardens, and clear potential for further energy-efficiency improvements.
