Approached by its own private drive with a double garage and useful outbuildings. This property is realistically priced for a quick sale and is chain free. Buyers looking for a home of character in a semi-rural location yet within approx half a mile of Staplehurst main line station should book an appointment to view.
Description
This older style detached Edwardian bungalow was extended and refurbished approximately ten years ago, it offers surprisingly spacious, well equipped and flexible accommodation which will comfortably suit a variety of family needs including the opportunity to create an annexe or to work from home. The property privately stands on a good size plot in a semi rural location adjoining fields. All mains services are connected including gas and mains drainage. The accommodation benefits from gas fired central heating to radiators and there is a feature fireplace. Balmaghie is offered for sale at what we feel is a realistic asking price and is chain free. We encourage any discerning buyer to view this lovely home to fully appreciate the potential and explore how best it could work for them.
Location
The location of this property offers the best of both worlds. Situated on the outskirts of Staplehurst village, with rural views to front and rear, yet within approx half a mile of Staplehurst main line station with fast and frequent trains to London and the coast which is very popular with commuters. Staplehurst is a thriving village with a good range of local shops, primary school and medical centre; an ancient church and many other fine buildings of architectural and historical interest. Parents have a wide range of schools including popular colleges and grammar schools in Tonbridge and Maidstone, and we also understand this property lies within the Cranbrook School Catchment Area.
