The Drive, Longfield, Kent, DA3

Positioned along a quiet road within the sought after village of New Barn, and occupying a pleasant, South-facing plot, is this well-presented, chalet style home/bungalow. A great option for downsizers or those looking to escape to a semi-rural, yet well connected area.

The property comes with a gated frontage and driveway, with a detached double garage and electric roller door, meaning there is ample off-road parking.

Downstairs, you enter via a welcoming entrance hall, which splits a ground floor bedroom, currently utilised as a study/home office – and the kitchen. The kitchen has been modernised in recent years and features integrated appliances, with space for a free-standing fridge-freezer, plus a side door to the garden.

To the rear of the ground floor, there is a bright and spacious, open-plan lounge-diner. This offers large windows and French doors so with its southerly orientation, there is tonnes of natural light.

A ground floor bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor, fully tiled and featuring shower attachment over bath, toilet and wash-hand basin.

Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, both of which feature at least some built in storage/wardrobes. They both also enjoy stunning views across the garden and across to Hartley Woods. There is further built-in eaves storage to the landing.

A second shower room with electric shower, toilet and hand basin, completes this home.

Externally, there is a very well maintained, South-Facing rear garden. Tiered and on a slight downward gradient, there is a main patio, and a pathway which splits three sections of lawn. To the bottom of the garden, there is another large patio/seating area. A real sun-trap and the perfect space in which to host or entertain.

Further benefits to the home include gas central heating and double glazing. There is also fantastic potential for extension, subject to planning permission (STPP)

New Barn is very well positioned for reputable primary and secondary schools, as well as the local amenities in Longfield Village. Within walking distance, these include Longfield train station, which offers regular services to London Victoria in just over 30 minutes, together with a Waitrose Supermarket, a Co-Op, and independent stores to include a butcher, a bakery, hair and nail salons, a barber shop and numerous takeaway eateries.

For those with children or pets, there are some lovely countryside walks and woodland trails nearby. Why not take a leisurely walk across The Gallops to the renowned Ship Inn pub at Southfleet, or down to Longfield Village for your conveniences? Alternatively, head up Longfield Hill for a drink or a bite to eat at The Green Man.

Road links to the A2, M25, M2 and M20 are all within easy reach, as is Ebbsfleet International train station, offering High Speed services to Stratford International and St Pancras International in just 11 and 21 minutes, respectively. Public buses service the area and provide routes to Gravesend and Bluewater, whilst there are also school coach services to Dartford, Gravesend and Wilmington Grammar schools.
