This substantial late-Victorian/Georgian semi-detached home offers abundant living space across three storeys plus a versatile basement, suited to growing families or multi-generational households. Period features — high ceilings, sash windows, decorative cornicing and a feature fireplace — create immediate character and a strong sense of arrival. A large, sunny, private rear garden and off-street parking for several cars add practical family appeal.
A detached one-bedroom annex with its own courtyard is a major asset: ideal for guests, older children, dependent relatives or as an income stream (current owners report over £1,000 pcm). Inside the main house there are four double bedrooms, a ground-floor shower room/WC, a generous lounge and dining room, and a bright kitchen with skylight. The basement is currently used as a cinema/family room and can be adapted to suit home working, leisure or storage needs.
Buyers should note a few material points: the solid brick walls are understood to have no cavity insulation (typical of the build era), so upgrading insulation could improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is described as expensive. The property’s period nature means ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating may be required in places. Viewing in person — and watching the supplied video — is recommended to fully appreciate the layout and potential.
Set in Wateringbury village, the house benefits from countryside access, good broadband and mobile signals, low crime, and easy road and rail links to Maidstone, Tonbridge and London. Nearby schools include a high-performing primary and several well-regarded secondaries, making this a practical family location with clear potential for rental or annex income as needed.
