A four bedroom detached house with an impressive, contemporary and most original design with far reaching views across adjacent countryside in the peaceful and pleasant village of Kilndown.
A most impressive, individually designed contemporary home in this peaceful, end of cul-de-sac location in the Kent village of Kilndown. Offered as top of chain and benefiting from wonderful far reaching views across open countryside to the rear, the property enjoys an impressive split-level design with the principal lounge being on the upper floor and the bedrooms and kitchen/dining areas to the lower floor. The design is not only impressive, but allows for the kitchen and dining areas to become effectively open plan to both the garden and views via bi-fold doors. The property enjoys good areas of engineered oak flooring, two wood burners, underfloor heating and four good sized bedrooms - of which one has an en-suite facility. The property's gardens are set mostly to lawn with good decking areas to the immediate rear. A glance at the attached photographs and floorplan will give only a small idea as to how impressive this property and its location is. It can only really be appreciated by making an appointment to view! To this end we encourage all parties to contact Wood & Pilcher at their earliest convenience to avoid disappointment.
