Location
Hextable is situated in north west Kent between the towns of Dartford and Swanley and over the last 100 years it has grown from a small hamlet to a semi-rural village of some 4,400 people. The village is surrounded by green belt land - much of it used by small farms, nurseries and livery stables. It is just 16 miles from Central London and is within the M25. However, Hextable still retains much of its rural character having its own post office, chemist, grocery stores and popular large cafe. The centre is marked by an attractive tree-lined village green with children's play area, and there are several other large communal green spaces and also Heritage Gardens, which include the village hall, parish centre offices, open green space and lovely nature walks. A founder member of the Temperance Movement once lived in Hextable and to this day, historic covenants still mean the village has no public houses! There are road links from the area giving access to A2/M2, A20/M20, M25 (truncated)

Seller Insight
This impressive, spacious, family home is set along a quiet road, within walking distance into the rural village of Hextable, which sits within Green Belt land. Open meadows and fields adjoin the property, presenting a delightful, rural, location yet it is just a short journey into towns like Sevenoaks and Bromley South and conveniently close to Ebbsfleet and Bluewater. The owners were hunting for a larger family home and Wiffens Farm Cottage, plus its location, was ideal for them with its potential to become the family home they were looking for. Originally two farm cottages which had been converted into one home but, since coming to live here in 1991, the owners have tweaked, extended and enhanced the cottage for it to become the magnificent, spacious, family home that it is today. A home full of style and comfort, teamed with essential practicalities for a busy family life.

In addition, the external features are equally enchanting, Doors from the dining and main reception room open out onto a spacious patio, thereby increasing and enhancing the living space, especially when thrown open wide on sunny, warm, days. The garden also backs onto a large meadow and on into open countryside. The owners love to share their home with friends and family and the large lawn is brilliant for family gatherings, even for a bouncy castle. The owners have also enjoyed lots of occasions when they have hosted summer dance parties. There are lots of pleasant walks direct from the house and the local area is popular for equestrian pursuits. The sociable village has many opportunities to pursue a wide range of interests and the coffee venue by the church is very popular.

Seller Insight
There is a primary school in the village with a variety of education establishments for older children close by. There are good amenities within the village, but large supermarkets and other outstanding facilities are very close. Road and rail links are excellent offering a choice of journeys into the capital, whilst access to major motorways is very convenient. The family have now flown the nest and it is for logistic reasons that the owners are moving to live closer to their daughter. They have adored living in this brilliant family home and wish new owners much happiness and contentment.
