4 bedroom detached house for sale

Offered to the market with the rare benefit of NO FORWARD CHAIN is this substantial, gated, four bedroom detached home, with the benefit of a self-contained, two bedroom, two bathroom Annex on-site.

Located in the sought after village of Culverstone, Meopham, within easy reach of reputable schools, plus both Sevenoaks and Gravesend, this unique property occupies a generous, enclosed plot measuring approximately 5.5 ACRES, made up of immaculately presented gardens and a paddock to the rear.

Not marketed for well in excess of 50 years, the property was converted from two original late 1800’s farm cottages. Completely refurbished and reconfigured in 1982 and again in recent years, the home is now versatile and can cater for families of varying sizes, including those that are multi-generational, with the annex. It would also work well for those who run a business from home, given it has numerous outbuildings, or as an EQUESTRIAN facility, with the option to install a menage or further stable blocks in the paddock, subject to the necessary permissions (STPP).

The property offers a large driveway, with ample off-street parking available, for at least 10-15 vehicles. There is the benefit of a double garage for yet further parking, or storage.

Internally, the main house is filled with character and downstairs, it comprises a spacious, “L” shaped lounge-diner with a feature log-burner, a separate fitted kitchen, a conservatory and a downstairs cloakroom. There is a separate boot-room to the rear, for easy access to and from the garden.

Upstairs, the home offers four double bedrooms. The master is generously proportioned and features built in wardrobes, as well as an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two, three and four also feature built-in storage. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, fully tiled and complete with white suite to include bath, separate shower, WC, wash-hand basin and storage cabinets.

Externally, the main gardens are maintained to exemplary standards. The clue is in the name, with beautiful Rose bushes surrounding the cottage. The main garden offers a large patio installed in 2015, a seating area, a brick-built barbeque area, and access to a garden store, the double garage, a separate store-room and a work-shop. There is also a separate timber lodge, complete with a kitchenette, decked veranda and shower room. The space is currently used as an office. The rear paddock is enclosed and partitioned from the main house with a wooden fence.

The self-contained, two bedroom Annex was a former stable block, converted in 2012. For this, a section 106 agreement applies, meaning the property is to be used for family and visiting friends. However, this restriction could be removed, subject to the necessary planning conditions. The dwelling itself is finished to an incredibly high standard, complete with two double bedrooms, one en-suite shower room, a main bathroom, a separate contemporary kitchen, and an open-plan living/dining arrangement with a vaulted ceiling and character beams. From the living space, there are double doors to a section of garden which could quite easily be enclosed.

Interested parties are encouraged to make their own enquiries with the local authority, regarding any proposed extension or planning works. Dan Thomas & Co are advised that the property could benefit from permitted development rights or multiple dwelling relief, but cannot guarantee this.

Further benefits to the home include oil central heating, double glazing and a loft space for storage. The boiler, fuse-box and hot water tank have also been upgraded since 2021.

The property is located within walking distance of Culverstone and Vigo primary schools, and is within a short drive of Meopham primary and secondary. There are also two convenience stores in Culverstone.

Road links to the A2, M2, M20 and M25 are fantastic, whilst Sevenoaks is also within easy reach, for popular private schools.

Meopham and Borough Green are within easy reach, with these villages offering the closest train stations. Meopham offers a direct service to London Victoria, whilst Borough Green offers services to Victoria, London Bridge and London Charing Cross.

For those who may wish for a High Speed link to the capital, Ebbsfleet International is also within easy reach.
