Description

A deceptively large three bedroom semi-detached family home set in the delightful village of Sellindge, which is situated on the North Downs between the delightful coastal town of Folkestone and the thriving commuter town of Ashford with its fast Motorway and Mainline links to London and beyond. This popular village is a busy and friendly area and has become very popular with young families due to having a highly rated Primary school. There is a traditional village green, Coop store, social club, bowling green, tennis courts and local pubs.

The entrance lobby is a great place to store shoes and coats and the other paraphernalia that you just do not wish to clutter the inside of your home with. The main entrance hall has a beautiful staircase handmade from Ash and doors off to all three reception rooms and kitchen. The third reception room faces the front of the house and has a warming open fire with a brick-built fireplace and display/storage cabinets to either side. The main reception room is at the rear and has double glazed doors leading to the garden, giving the room a bright and airy feel about it. However, the real hidden gem in this great home is the second reception room, not only is a large family sized space with lovely wooden flooring but it leads directly into the downstairs cloakroom and utility room meaning there are possibilities of making this area a self-contained annex or a great home/work area. The good sized kitchen has enough room for a breakfast bar and the units are, we understand, hand made from Elm, a durable and flexible wood. Downstairs is nicely finished off by a utility room which has a door leading to the garden.

The first-floor landing has access to the loft space and doors to all three bedrooms and bathroom. The main bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has a range of hand built, in Ash, mirror fronted wardrobes. Bedroom two is at the front of the house whilst the good sized bedroom three overlooks the pretty rear garden. The bathroom has a separate shower cubicle and a bath with taps on the side making laying down and soaking a real pleasure. The hand basin is built into a vanity unit with the WC finishing off this room. The front garden has a lawned area, parking for several vehicles and a handy side alley which is a great storage area for those unsightly dustbins. The rear garden really does not disappoint either with a large patio and hand built Pergola with a Polycarbonate  roof making it a fantastic entertaining space for those balmy country summer evenings the lawn has a border to one side and a summer house, shed and further storage at the rear.

In summary this lovely family home is set in a popular village that would suit an expanding family or a couple looking to downsize but not wanting to lose the all-important social space of larger homesDisclaimer
