A traditionally styled detached residence, tucked away in a peaceful close within the sought-after village of Challock. Built in 2016 by renowned local developer David Cox, the property has been meticulously finished with elegant dcor, thoughtful interior design, natural materials, bespoke carpentry and high-specification finishes throughout.

Occupying a generous plot, the home benefits from a large driveway, a beautifully maintained country garden, and a productive kitchen garden thoughtfully arranged with multiple vegetable beds.

The symmetrical faade is a charming blend of cream weatherboarding, pale-framed hardwood windows, and heritage-style brickwork. A central front door, set beneath a pitched canopy, opens into a welcoming entrance hall with coat storage.

To the left is an elegant dual-aspect sitting room featuring rich oak floorboards, bespoke cabinetry, and a wood-burning stove framed by exposed brickwork beneath an oak bressummer beam.

The open-plan living space has been beautifully designed to create distinct areas for cooking, dining, and relaxing. The kitchen is fitted with granite worktops and gloss units incorporating integrated appliances, while a peninsula provides additional workspace and subtly separates the kitchen from the dining area. Beyond, a relaxed seating area with bespoke bookcases and French doors offers the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee overlooking the garden.

An oak staircase with glass balustrade rises to a central landing, leading to a well-appointed family bathroom and three double bedrooms, all benefitting from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom also enjoys an en-suite shower room. Planning permission was previously granted for a loft conversion, presenting potential to create a fourth bedroom, subject to the necessary consents.

OUTSIDE:

The westerly-facing garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day and well into the evening. Beautifully landscaped and immaculately maintained, it features established shrubs, colourful borders, and lawned areas. A seating terrace extends from the house, whilst a path leads to a timber-framed greenhouse and an additional garden area designed for growing vegetables, complete with raised beds, a potting shed, and a wildlife pond. This section of the garden could equally serve as an excellent childrens play area.

The driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached garage with ample space for a car, alongside a separate log store and storage area. The garage roof space has also been boarded to maximise storage capacity.

AGENTS NOTE:

The propertys primary fuel source is electric, complemented by solar panels which help support energy efficiency. There is a shared septic tank serving the six houses within the close, with a monthly maintenance charge of approximately 60 covering the upkeep of the private drainage system, along with the main access into the close, hedging and fencing.
