Some words from the current owners
“Tennyson Walk has been our family, forever home for over 40 years so it definitely feels like home and it has been a joy and privilege to live here so long. Our neighbours over the years have become friends, giving us a warm sense of community spirit you may not find so prevalently elsewhere. We all look out for each other, with a friendly wave and chat and therefore crime in this area is extremely low.
We have loved that as we got older in years, the style of the house still suited us as it is a bungalow, with manageable front and rear gardens, ample height ceiling, with generous room sizes and light and airy rooms.
There is a fantastic choice of good primary and secondary schools within walking, short cycle or drive away, which is ideal for those with school-aged children to consider.
A commuter coach service can be walked to in 5 minutes, for those having to travel into London, a leisurely way to get into Canary Wharf within an hour. Ebbsfleet International is close by and takes you into Stratford within 12 minutes and St Pancreas within 18 minutes, so location-wise, the options are endless. In 19 minutes you can be at Ashford International from Ebbsfleet, ideal for some retail therapy at Ashford Outlet Centre!
We installed a new Worcester Greenstar boiler in 2020. We also had a conservatory put on which is perfect whilst enjoying the South facing garden. For Summer BBQs we had a raised patio for entertaining added.
Having local shops in walking distance (Co-Op and Morrisons Daily), Post Office, Florist and takeaways and a Sainsbury’s supermarket within walking distance is a big plus of living here, especially with Bluewater a short drive away too.
For active sportspersons, we have Cygnet leisure centre within walking distance as well as Wombwell Park, where we used to play tennis and is a great area for family time.
We have been proud to live here and be part of the tight-knit community and we whole-heartedly hope that the next owners will be as happy here, as we have been for many, many years.”
