Description

Cuxton is a village surrounded by miles of countryside including the Ranscombe nature reserve. With views overlooking the river Medway, many people are first attracted to the area because of its Marina. For this owner it was something much closer to home. Once they found the village, they stumbled across this semi detached property, whilst looking around many of their boxes were ticked and things were going well and the deal was sealed. They were overwhelmed when they entered the approx. 38ft lean to and to top it off, a garage and a workshop to the rear. It’s an abundance of space that can be really utilised for many other interests, possibly a gym area for any fitness fanatics or workspace for anyone looking to start up from home. There is plenty of storage throughout with built-in wardrobes in two bedrooms and double walk-in wardrobes off the landing area. Since moving in the owners have replaced the kitchen and decorated throughout. One of the bigger improvements has been the extension of the driveway. Having several cars the owners needed additional parking, now providing an abundance of space ideal for anyone looking for parking for a caravan or boat that is rare and hard to find in many modern family homes.What the Owner says:We looked at a few properties before finding this nugget. It really set itself apart with the massive improvement of space that was on offer. We have put our own mark on the property with several improvements made. It’s hard to summarise about the area when we love so much about it. A short distance away is Ranscombe nature reserve however, it is a fantastic village regards to commuting with the M2 & M20 corridor on the doorstep and its own train station within the village.
