Brookbanks are delighted to present this extended three-bedroom semi-detached home, situated on the highly sought-after and private Archer Way in Swanley. This beautifully maintained and thoughtfully modernised property has been lovingly decorated by the current homeowners to create a warm and contemporary family space. With the addition of a utility room and a modern ground floor shower room, this home offers both practicality and versatility, enhanced further by underfloor heating in the kitchen, utility and shower room for ultimate comfort.
The ground floor features a spacious lounge, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining, with elegant double doors that open through to the dining room, allowing a natural flow of light and space.

Upstairs, the property boasts two large double bedrooms and a generous single bedroom, which currently accommodates a double sofa bed, offering excellent flexibility for guests or use as a home office. The main bathroom has also been recently upgraded to a sleek, modern finish.
Outside, the garden provides a peaceful retreat — a large patio area offers the perfect spot to enjoy the sun or dine al fresco, while a cosy fireplace area adds charm and a touch of character for relaxing evenings outdoors.
