Church Lane, Barham

An attractive semi-detached home with carport parking, located on the edge of Barham, a highly desirable, picturesque village nestled within the Kent Downs AONB. The property forms part of an exclusive development of just ten houses, set within its own private close off Church Lane, built in 2021 by the reputable developer, Roddy Homes.

The property is extremely pretty, with a white weather boarded façade and red roof tiles, giving it a cottage feel. The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, with a door ahead leading to a large downstairs WC, and a door to the left taking you through into the main living accommodation. The kitchen is open to the dining and living areas, this modern, open-plan layout lending itself well to entertaining friends and family, and there are French doors out to the garden. This is a large L' shaped room which runs the length and width of the house, but still has that cosy feel where the living area is tucked around the corner. The kitchen area is also very spacious and has a range of white gloss base and wall units, with a grey, stone-effect worktop and a breakfast bar, which separates the kitchen from the dining area. The kitchen is fully integrated, with a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Zanussi oven with induction hob and a washing machine.

Back in the entrance hall, the staircase takes you up to the first floor. The staircase has an attractive balustrade made up of glass and wood, finishing the entrance hall off with a contemporary look. There is also a storage cupboard underneath the stairs. On the first floor, you will find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom to the front features fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom, which has a large shower unit with a rainfall shower. There is also another deep storage cupboard in this bedroom. The second bedroom to the rear is a small double and has fitted wardrobes, and the third bedroom is a good-sized single room, perfect for a child or for someone to use as an office. There is a large cupboard off the landing which currently houses the tumble dryer.

Outside, there is a delightful rear garden which is landscaped for low maintenance. There are two patio areas for seating, with the one to the rear featuring an attractive wooden pergola with climbing plants. There is a gate to the side, which opens into a secure, gated courtyard area which could be used for parking or storage. For those looking for a larger garden, the garden could potentially be opened into this space. There is plenty of parking available, with the carport and further parking available in front of the property and visitor parking.
