Newly built to exacting standards in 2016 by reputable local developer, Esquire Developments, Willow Croft is a superb barn-style home, nestled within an exclusive gated development at Northfleet Green near Southfleet. It is a rare opportunity for those looking to buy a lifestyle – something more than just a property.
Despite being semi-detached, the home boasts greater square footage and a larger plot size than many detached homes in the area!
As you enter the development via either of the two gated entrances, you’ll either pass far reaching views of countryside to your left, or a children’s play park. Pass the row of garages en-bloc (one of which belongs to this property) and you will arrive at Willow Croft, located at the back of the development and occupying a generous plot (see our drone video, for full extent!). There is a driveway which allows for at least another 2-4 vehicles.
The front of the home has been re-landscaped and now offers a low-maintenance garden area, with a slate flowerbed and ornamental feature, with pathway through to the original barn entrance, now a large set of doors with huge surrounding windows – allowing a vaulted effect and a stunning landing, above.
Downstairs, the property offers a welcoming entrance hall, with stairs left, and access to a downstairs WC for convenience.
To the right of the entrance hall, there is a well-appointed and stylishly decorated lounge with feature media wall. This interconnects via double-doors to a versatile space at the rear, currently utilised as a home office, but potentially a great children’s play room.
To the rear-left of the ground floor, there is a modernised, high specification kitchen with fully fitted appliances and feature island, and a door to the rear garden. Separate to this is a fitted utility room with separate sink, again for added convenience.
Upstairs, the home offers two spacious double bedrooms. The master is of incredibly generous proportions, with a contemporary en-suite shower room and two sets of fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three are again spacious doubles, again with built-in wardrobes, and with one featuring a Juliet balcony/door overlooking the rear garden. The fourth bedroom is a slightly smaller double but, yet again, features built-in wardrobes.
There is under-floor heating throughout and air conditioning to the first floor.
Externally, there is a huge rear garden, again maintained to exemplary standards and perfect for large families, or those with pets. This features a large patio, a raised deck and hot-tub area, plus a wonderful outbuilding with shower-room. This poses many a use, a home-office, a bar and entertainment space, or potentially an annex/living space (subject to permissions or covenants).
Further benefits to the home include its own individual LPG tank, mains drainage and a loft space for storage.
Having enjoyed the description of this semi-rural gem, you might be surprised to learn that the property is less than 10 minutes from a High Speed Train station (Ebbsfleet International) which offers direct services to Stratford International and St Pancras International (Kings Cross) in under 25 mins.
Similarly, excellent road links to the A2, M25, M2 and M20 mean the property is very well connected to the London, as well as the Kent coastline, and airports at Gatwick & Heathrow.
The property is just a junction along the A2 from Bluewater Shopping Centre for those who enjoy their retail therapy, and is within a 15 minute drive of Gravesend Town Centre.
For families, the property is within close proximity to a number of reputable schools, including Grammars at both Mayfield (girls) and Gravesend (boys).
For those who enjoy walking or with dogs, simply step out of the front garden gate, walk 10 yards and be greeted with acres of countryside, safe for them to roam. There is a lovely walk to a renowned local pub in Southfleet village named The Ship Inn, with Broadditch Farm Shop, the Manor Farm Barn and duck-pond also within close reach.
The home sits within an unexpired developer’s warranty, with further details available upon request.
