Whether you have horses or other livestock, or you want to develop a smallholding, this charming and extended property with stables, nestling in about 5.75 acres of land surrounded by the Kent countryside, could tick all the right boxes. Believed to have originally been built in the 1930s as a bungalow, it now includes a spacious upper floor and an impressive conservatory. It is located along the leafy Longend Lane and is accessed via a hedge lined entrance opening onto a long driveway flanked by front lawns that continues past the front entrance to a large off road parking area. The front door opens into the tiled hallway with stairs to the first floor and access to a double bedroom, a bathroom and a snug with a corner log burner and French doors to the vast conservatory. This has bi-fold doors onto the garden and provides lovely views over the garden and beyond. The impressive lounge/dining room is partially divided by a central brick chimney breast, housing an open fire and features wide open archways, solid wood flooring and a relaxing family space. The kitchen includes tiled flooring, a Rangemaster Leisure cooker and shaker style units housing various appliances, while the adjacent utility room has laundry facilities, additional kitchen appliances and a stable door to the garden. Upstairs there is a family shower room, extensive eaves storage, a very useful study/bedroom/nursery/dressing room with built in shelving and a single bedroom with a vanity basin. The two double bedrooms have far reaching views over the paddocks and countryside while the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes. Outside there is a terrace bordered by raised shrub beds, two garden sheds, a greenhouse, a stable block with three stables and a tack room. The large garden is easy to maintain and includes an orchard and vegetable beds. The land totals over five acres of level paddocks and both paddock and orchard have access to a dry shelter/hay barn with water and electricity.

What the Owner says:

This delightful property has been in the family for the past 35 years, but we need to downsize. We have upgraded the property over the years and had planning permission to build a double garage and a workshop, and the footings and concrete base have already been created. We love the location and are only moving as far as Marden, which is only two miles from Collier Street village which includes an excellent primary school, playing field and church.
