Baldwin's Place, ME17

The owners fell in love with this home for where it was and with a vision of what they could create here.
Like us, you'll fall in love with it for where it is and what that vision, realised, provides.
There are so many delightful facets to this home. Walking up to the front door is a pleasure, from the corner of your eye you are aware of the gently arching canopy of the tree, branch extended with a swing swaying gently beneath it and you'll pause for a moment torn between doorbell and the thought of a moment of childlike fun.
Step through the front door and a wonderful home welcomes you into its embrace. A super living room sweeps away toward the fireplace, in the other direction your eye travels through to the dining room and as you approach you are drawn into a fabulously restyled kitchen whose windows draw your gaze out to that swing and beyond to the ducks waddling across from the neighbour's pond, a truly delightful scene that provides a timeless canvas to enjoy.
Intended to be a long-term home thought has been applied and money spent with that purpose, it is all so lovely that only an amazing opportunity being offered to them has brought the owners to think of moving from this stunning house.
Those who know us at Graham John will understand when we talk about balance in a home. Here the rooms downstairs complement each other superbly, from the brilliant space the living room offers to the dining room from which you can step out to a secluded area of decking, to the hot tub and around to the main garden.
In the great way that the bedrooms provide balance, all good sizes, each with a unique feel so the garden provides it as well, space to the sides and to the rear, endearing, enjoyable and practical, the exterior enjoys the sun and reminds you that throughout this home there is an affinity with light.
Beyond the boundaries of the home there is a small, select community in this charming cul de sac and then Harrietsham itself provides so much for family life. Local shops for essentials, a pub and of course a railway station within easy walking distance.
Go beyond Harrietsham and you have myriad choices of places to visit, Lenham, Hollingbourne, Bearsted all draw people to them to visit. Delightful countryside seems to stretch away in every direction, waiting to be explored. Leeds Castle is just down the road and the County town of Maidstone a short drive.
If you're looking to fall in love, this home is a choice candidate.
