Property Description: Guide Price £750,000 - £800,000. Bowl Field is an idyllic small development of just five houses in the picturesque Kent Downs, an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. This fabulous family home sits on an enviable corner plot behind electric double wooden gates and has been modernised throughout to an exceptionally high standard.
As you enter the house over the Amtico luxury vinyl flooring you are immediately struck by the generous proportions of the impressive central hallway. The current owners have replaced the traditional wooden bannister with glass panels allowing light to flood the hallway from the first floor balcony.
The open plan kitchen/dining room is really well laid out and flooded with natural light both from the large bay window to the front and double doors to the rear garden. It is the sort of space that one can really imagine living and entertaining in. The kitchen is fitted with shaker style units with quartz worktops and a deep Butler's sink. It has integrated appliances including two NEFF double ovens, a NEFF combination microwave oven, a hob, a NEFF coffee machine, a dishwasher, a washing machine, two wine coolers and a fridge/freezer, there is also an island ideal for casual dining that can easily sit four people.
An oak door leads into the spacious living room. This is also dual aspect allowing in plenty of natural light. There is a modern inset wood burner and French doors open onto the beautifully landscaped garden creating a wonderful flow between indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs there are four really good sized double bedrooms, three of which have built in wardrobes. There is also a fully tiled family bathroom with a P-shaped bath with a shower; a vanity unit and basin with a feature mirror above. In addition to the family bathroom there is also a fully tiled ground floor shower room, providing additional bathing space for mucky children, dogs and guests.
The annex, with its own entrance, is a fabulous addition to this property. It is completely self-contained with its own kitchen and bathroom. The living space is vaulted with French doors to the garden so has a real feeling of light and space. There is a good sized double bedroom. This could be used for multiple purposes from an occasional guest space; accommodation for older children or parents to a potential holiday home which could provide an income.
Outside: The property is is set back in its land and is approached through electric wooden farm gates. The drive provides parking for up to six cars. There is an impressive sized front garden which wraps round to the side and then morphs into a rear garden which has been thoughtfully designed around the "room" principle. So there are different areas with different feels for different times of the day. From the living room you come out onto a terrace with a covered pergola. At the rear of the garden is a sheltered raised deck area which faces east so the perfect spot for breakfast in the garden. There is a brick built outdoor kitchen with a large pizza oven, a BBQ and space for a fridge. The garden has a mass of mature shrubs and trees so has a really sheltered feel. Behind the house is an extensive area of farmland with all the benefits that brings.
