4 bed Detached House
£795,000
Brookview, Sutton Street, Bearsted
A sympathetically built detached residence situated on one of the oldest streets in Bearsted, surrounded by rolling countryside and just a short stroll to the village green and mainline train station. Brookview was built in the 1970's and has since been significantly enhanced by the current owners, who have made many improvements, including a large extension that creates a beautiful light and airy family room, seamlessly connecting to the westerly-facing rear garden.
The property is deceptively spacious with almost 2000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation spanning three floors, which also includes an integral garage that could be further converted (STPC). The front door opens into an extended porch area, providing plenty of room for coats and shoes. This, in turn, leads to the sitting room, which features a wood-burning stove and stairs to the first floor.
Beyond the sitting room, the space opens into a wonderfully configured living area, with a kitchen to the right comprising wall and floor units finished with wood-effect worktops that surround all main appliances. The breakfast bar creates a slight division between the cooking and dining areas while keeping the space open and sociable. The kitchen is further enhanced by a utility room that offers plenty of space for laundry appliances, as well as a separate wash closet.
Underfloor heating has been installed within the extension, beneath wood-effect flooring, while skylights and French doors allow light to pour through the beautifully presented space.
On the first floor, there is a large galleried landing leading to three generously proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. On the second floor, you will find a large double bedroom with an adjacent dressing room; the current owners have replaced both dormers, providing beautiful views of Bearsted village.
OUTSIDE:
The westerly-facing garden enjoys a great deal of sunshine throughout the day and late into the evening. A patio area runs directly from the French doors, while the neatly laid lawn leads to raised decking and a log cabin, which is currently used as a home gym.
SITUATION:
The property is situated in a highly sought after road in the heart of Bearsted village, within walking distance to Roseacre & Thurnham Schools, the village Green, the mainline station and the village's numerous local amenities.

The nearby village of Leeds is host to Leeds Castle, over 900 years old and set within over 500 acres of beautiful park-like grounds, the castle is known as 'the loveliest castle in the world' and is a draw for tourists from all over the world.
For a far wider range of amenities, the nearby county town of Maidstone offers a fine selection of shopping, educational and recreational facilities, including several grammar schools, Fremlin Walk Shopping Centre, three stations and a hospital.
