Description
Situated on the popular Oxenden Park development by Bellway, this modern three-bedroom semi-detached home, built in 2023, offers stylish and well-balanced accommodation ideal for families, professionals, or those seeking a turnkey property on the outskirts of Herne Bay.
The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall with a convenient cloakroom/WC and storage, leading through to a bright and comfortable lounge. To the rear, the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully designed for modern living and entertaining, with ample worktop space and direct access to the garden via double doors.
Upstairs, the property boasts three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with master en-suite shower room. The accommodation is served by a modern family bathroom.
Externally, the home benefits from a west-facing rear garden, which is not overlooked and is mostly laid to lawn, making it ideal for children, entertaining, or simply enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine. The property enjoys a pleasant position within the development and benefits from the remainder of the NHBC warranty.
