Tucked away at the end of a long driveway, in a very private, rural setting, backing on to Dale Hill golf course and within easy reach of Bedgebury Pinetum, Bewl Water and the A21, this beautifully presented detached house offers space, light and flexible living accommodation in a plot of about a third of an acre with ample off-road parking and a delightful South-facing garden, ideal for entertaining. EPC: D

Hatch End is a beautifully presented, detached single storey home, believed to date back to the 1960s, which has been remodelled and updated in recent years. The house enjoys a Southerly aspect, allowing for an abundance of natural light.

To the front of the property there is a generous amount of parking, with the benefit of external lighting to see you and guests to the front door, plus power and hose points for washing cars etc.

A glazed porch, with space for hanging coats and storing shoes/wellies, leads through to an inner hallway, with an airing cupboard providing additional storage.

The spacious living room has sliding glazed doors and French doors to the rear terrace and features a coal effect gas stove at one end.

The kitchen was knocked through to a newly created breakfast room by the current owners, opening up the space and providing direct access to the rear patio via a glazed door. The kitchen features a range of wall and base units with integrated appliances including an induction hob with extractor over, double oven, dishwasher, washing machine and undermount fridge. There is also space for an American style fridge freezer.

Adjoining the kitchen and breakfast room is a generous dining room with further glazed doors inviting you out to the rear terrace.

There are four further rooms, three currently used as bedrooms and the fourth as an office. The three bedrooms have built in wardrobes and one has fitted drawers and dressing table, as well as an en suite shower room. The other two/three are served by a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

There are two good sized lofts, plus garden sheds for extra storage.

The South-facing rear garden features a broad paved patio, with steps down to a lawn dotted with specimen shrubs and trees, providing an array of colour throughout the seasons. A fish pond on the upper terrace has been covered with decking, which could easily be removed again if purchasers desired.
