If you're dreaming of a living in a picturesque village straight out of a postcard, where locals gather to play cricket on a lush green, then Bearsted is the ultimate destination for you. You can reach the village green from this property in around 15 minutes (0.7 miles) on foot through the neighbouring Bearsted Woodland Trust land. It's a place where you can indulge in the finest dining options, including the Michelin-listed Fish on the Green and Oak on the Green - a gastropub that boasts a wide selection of ales. The White Horse, a large pub with roaring log fires, is situated just across the green, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. Parents will be delighted to know that both local schools, Roseacre and Madginford, have been rated outstanding and good by Ofsted. If you're a golf enthusiast, the village offers the convenience of an 18-hole course and if you enjoy countryside walks you can access public footpaths that connect to the North Downs Way a few moments away. Commuters will appreciate the direct services to London Victoria, taking just over an hour from Bearsted station which is just 3 minutes (1 mile) away by car, or high speed services to London St Pancras in 19 minutes from Ebbsfleet station which is a 27 minute drive away.
We had grand plans for this property as it has so much potential but sadly personal circumstances have meant we will have to leave this home for someone else to make it their 'forever home'. Originally built to the specifications of a previous owners in the 1980s, the house remains largely unchanged. However, we have architectural plans prepared to expand either upwards or on the ground floor, accompanied by a remodel aimed at aligning the space with contemporary living standards. You're invited to review these plans at your convenience. We love the area having been in Bearsted for many years and will still stay local. It has a great feel to it with light, bright and spacious rooms and a really private garden, and with some investment, it could truly become exceptional.
