Description

Hidden away from the road, this deceptively specious five bedroom detached chalet bungalow is nestled within a plot of approximately 1.4 acres in the pretty hamlet of Lenham Heath between the popular villages of Charing and Lenham.

This home has been in the tenure of the current vendor for over 31 years, a huge testement to what a happy home it has been. You approach via a gated tree lined driveway arriving at the home with sweeping views across the paddock and to the countryside beyond. With stabling and a large grassland paddock it would be ideal for 1-2 horses or a smallholding.

The living space is arranged over two floors with annexe potential comprising, to the ground floor, entrance porch, study hall, dining room, 22'11" living room with feature stone fireplace, an open plan kitchen/breakfast room and separate utility room, sitting room, four bedrooms and two separate shower rooms.

The first floor main bedroom suite benefits from a spacious main bedroom with a large bank of fitted wardrobes and a separate luxury bathroom suite with P-shaped bath and shower over with twin vanity sinks.

Outside entire plot is enclosed with the driveway leading to a hardstanding area with plentiful parking for several vehicles. The front garden is laid predominently to lawn with a variety of colourful flowers, shrubs and mature trees offering a wonderful place to relax and unwind. There is a 31'10" useful store building, a 0.8 acre paddock and a small timber stable block.
