If you’ve been searching for a semi-rural home with plenty of space for the whole family, this one is well worth a closer look. This impressive detached home offers five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a garage and a double driveway, ticking all the boxes for comfortable family living.

Set along Chestnut Wood Lane, a private road on the outskirts of the village of Borden, the property enjoys a lovely outlook across a paddock, giving you that countryside feel while still keeping everyday conveniences close at hand.

To the front, you’ll find a driveway with space for two vehicles, access to the garage and gated side access leading through to the rear garden.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a bright entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. The neutral décor creates a calm, inviting feel that continues throughout the home.

Bedroom five overlooks the front and is a versatile space, ideal as a home office, study or even an additional reception room, particularly useful for families with older children. A bathroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. Three are doubles and benefit from fitted wardrobes, along with a modern shower room serving the floor.

Outside, the rear garden is a lovely space to relax and unwind. It’s partly laid to lawn and framed by a variety of mature trees and shrubs, creating a private and peaceful setting. Gated access leads back around to the front of the property.

Chestnut Wood Lane itself is a private road with around 23 properties and is ideally located for easy access to the A249 and wider motorway connections. Borden Primary School is just a short drive away, with Westlands Secondary School approximately 1.5 miles from the property.
