Couchman Green Lane, Staplehurst, Kent

Shortlisted for Escape to the Country. The adorable this property has all the charm of a period property, however it was only built in 2002 by the prestigious Oakley Homes, so has all the advantages of being designed for modern day living. It is located in the Turley Farm private enclave of five individually designed detached properties surrounded by fields in an AONB, yet is only a 15 minute walk to Staplehurst station via a footpath.

This immaculately presented property includes a detached double garage with storage facilities, a log store and a driveway with off road parking that leads to the entrance. The hallway includes Amtico flooring that flows throughout the ground floor, a cloakroom and a fully equipped bespoke office space. There is a separate dining room/office/gym or games room as well as a large living room. This features a charming fireplace with a real log/coal burning fire and a wood surround and is semi open plan to the stunning kitchen/breakfast/dining room. This includes a double height, vaulted ceiling dining area extension with three aluminium bi-fold doors to the rear terrace and a bespoke trapezoid window above as well as an old brick feature wall. The new and beautifully equipped kitchen/breakfast room also has a brick wall feature and shaker style units housing a variety of built in appliances. There is a large central island/breakfast bar and an adjacent fitted utility room with storage space, concealed laundry facilities and access to the side patio.

Upstairs there is a recently refurbished family bathroom and four double bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms have bespoke fitted wardrobes and two have Amtico flooring, while the chic principal also includes a recently updated ensuite rainfall shower with underfloor heating. The secluded rear garden is surrounded by fruit trees, shrub borders and flower beds, a large lawn as well as a side patio and a large terrace.

Staplehurst includes independent shops, sports facilities, eateries and the station where trains can whisk you to London Bridge in under an hour.

What the Owner says:

We bought this property from new more than 20 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The location is very special and, because it is a part of a small private development, it is also very safe and secure for children and pets, while the surrounding countryside offers wonderful places to take the dog for walks. We are part of the warm and friendly Turley Farm community with delightful neighbours that share a WhatsApp group and enjoy communal summer BBQs and Christmas drinks parties. We are very sad to leave but it is time for a new chapter in our lives as our daughters are ‘fleeing the nest.'

During our time here we have upgraded the property by adding the rear extension, installing a new kitchen, incorporated integrated window blinds for privacy and redecorated the property internally with a neutral colour scheme throughout. There is also an economical oil fired central heating system, a new water pump to ensure excellent water pressure and lockable side gates for added security and enabling refuse bins to be discreetly hidden from view. We also share a treatment plant for waste water with the other residents that costs about £120 a year per property.

We are only a few minutes' drive from the vibrant and friendly village (or town) of Staplehurst with its variety of independent shops, sports facilities and eateries as well as the mainline station.
