GUIDE PRICE £1,250,000 to £1,350,000
Set within the gently undulating countryside of Longfield Hill, Northaw is an impressive and thoughtfully extended 1990s detached family home that has been comprehensively reconfigured to suit modern family life. Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.3 acres, the property sits behind a gated frontage and combines substantial internal accommodation with an exceptional range of outdoor entertaining and ancillary spaces, making it equally well suited to family living, home working and entertaining on a larger scale
Internally, the accommodation flows beautifully, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the space and flexibility found throughout the house. The sitting room is positioned to the front and enjoys a feature fireplace with log burner, creating a cosy yet refined retreat, while bi-fold doors allow it to connect seamlessly with the rest of the ground floor when entertaining. A separate dining room, also to the front, offers a more formal setting with generous proportions and fitted storage, ideal for hosting family gatherings or dinner parties.

The heart of the home lies to the rear, where an impressive open-plan kitchen, breakfast and orangery-style family room has been created. This expansive space is flooded with natural light via roof lanterns, large windows and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, blurring the line between inside and out. The kitchen itself is well appointed with extensive cabinetry, quality appliances and a substantial central island, making it a practical and sociable hub for everyday life. The adjoining family area provides ample space for relaxed seating and dining, while underfloor heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort. A separate utility room sits neatly off the kitchen, providing additional storage and practicality with its own external access.

To the first floor, the property now offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, having been reconfigured from its original five-bedroom layout. The principal bedroom suite is a standout feature, incorporating a dressing room and a stylish en-suite shower room, creating a private and luxurious retreat. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite facilities, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, making the layout ideal for both families and visiting guests.

Outside, the grounds are a particular highlight. The gardens have been carefully arranged to provide a variety of entertaining spaces, including sandstone patios, raised decking and lawned areas, alongside more informal recreational features. Positioned within the garden is a substantial garden room complex that significantly enhances the versatility of the property. This includes a dedicated office, ideal for home working, an adjoining gym, changing facilities and a bar with seating area, complemented by an external kitchen and hot tub area, creating a superb environment for both work and leisure.
To the front, the gated driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage with electric door, while additional outbuildings and sheds offer further storage. Drawings are also available for a potential loft conversion, offering scope for future expansion should a purchaser wish to further increase the accommodation.

Altogether, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile family home in a semi-rural setting, combining generous living space, outstanding entertaining facilities and excellent connectivity, all within one of the most sought-after pockets of North West Kent.

Seller Insight
“Although we didn’t build the house ourselves, we were the first to live here and have enjoyed 28 very happy years,” say the owners of this modern home, perfectly positioned to combine rural charm with excellent connections. “We were drawn to the generous proportions of the property, along with the opportunity to acquire land to the rear, which has further enhanced the setting.” Since moving in, the owners have made a series of thoughtful improvements to Northaw, shaping it into an exceptional home for everyday living, relaxation and entertaining. “We added a rear extension that has become a beautifully light, open-plan living space, incorporating the kitchen, dining area and a TV snug beneath a roof lantern.” Designed to blur the boundaries between indoors and out, this space opens directly onto a multi-functional garden. “After purchasing an additional third of an acre 17 years ago, we created an outdoor dining area complete with a jacuzzi, pizza oven and BBQ, alongside (truncated)
