A guide price of £250,000 - £270,000 for this superb, extended period property in the much sought-after Lower Queens Road, Ashford, Kent that was originally a 3 bedroom house, now with 2 bedrooms and a stunning 1st floor bathroom. The kitchen extension in particular must be viewed to be fully appreciated, leading into a utility room with downstairs WC. The property also has an easily accessible attic area providing great storage space. Resident parking permits for parking bays to the immediate front of the property are available via application through the local Borough Council for a nominal annual fee of around £30 and the home is excellently positioned for anyone requiring easy access to the international train station with access to central London in less than 40 minutes.
The entrance hallway has wooden flooring, with a door to the end LHS leading into the lounge to the front of the property. Stairs end facing lead to the 1st floor landing, with walk-through to the end LHS into the remainder of the ground floor accommodation.
The lounge is accessed via a wooden door from the entrance hallway and is positioned to the front of the property. It is carpeted, has a double glazed bay window to the front, feature solid fuel open fireplace with ornamental period surround. The room has a picture rail and in our opinion is a good-sized reception room.
The central reception area, accessible from the entrance hallway via a walk-through to the LHS of the stairs is used by the current vendors as a dining area. As the kitchen has been extended, this central area could be used as a second reception room if required. Wooden flooring matches that of the hallway. There is convenient under-stairs storage and a very useful opening in the wall dividing the dining room and kitchen which can be used to serve the dining room from the kitchen area. A wooden door to the end RHS leads into the kitchen.
The kitchen has been extended by the current vendors, providing a superb kitchen/diner in a modern style. There are numerous base units, with granite worktops and a central base and worktop area extended from a side wall to a central position within the room that may be used as a breakfast bar. There is space to the opposite wall for a large fridge freezer and there is a cooking range with extractor hood above. Double glazed double French doors to the end LHS lead into the rear garden area. A wooden door to the end RHS leads down, via 2 steps, to the utility room and WC. The utility room has a good-sized period-style ceramic sink with flexible mixer tap fitment, worktop space, beneath which is space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. Single glazed patterned glass window to the rear. A door to the LHS provides access to a convenient downstairs WC.
Carpeted stairs lead from the entrance hallway to the first floor landing, which provides access to 2 double bedrooms, a stunning family bathroom, a separate shower room and also a spiral staircase leading to the attic.
The master bedroom is to the front of the property. It is carpeted, has two uPVC double glazed sash-style windows to the front and to the LHS of the room, a fitted wardrobe with 4 sliding doors. The second bedroom is to the centre of the 1st floor accommodation. It is carpeted and has a wooden frame sash window with secondary glazing. In our opinion this is a good-sized 2nd bedroom.
A few steps through from the top of the stairs to the 1st floor landing and access is provided to two stunning features of this property. A door to the LHS leads to a lovely separate shower room, with corner cubicle shower and attractive wall tiling throughout and wooden framed patterned glass sash window. Further to the rear, accessible via the 1st floor landing, and a door provides access to a stunning bathroom that would originally have been the 3rd bedroom. The room has lovely tiled walls matching that of the shower room and a feature stand-alone oval-shaped bath towards the rear. WC and hand basin plus wall-mounted towel radiator. In the corner is a convenient linen cupboard. To the rear, a single glazed patterned glass window with secondary glazing.
The 1st floor landing also provides access, via a spiral staircase, to an attic area. The attic area itself was converted by the current vendors to building regulation standard for additional accommodation and has two velux windows and is carpeted. The spiral staircase does not comply with building regulations so this area cannot, in its current presentation, be formally classified as living accommodation space.
Purchasers may wish to alter the stair access to the attic space and apply for building regulations approval for use of this space as a formal 3rd bedroom. The attic area also has eaves storage.
The rear garden is, in our opinion, a good size, with a patio area to the immediate rear of the property, a path to the side of the lawned garden and further to the rear, a wooden shed and decked area.
This bespoke property has many stunning features that simply have to be viewed to be appreciated. Alterations and subsequent building regulations approval for access to the attic area would provide a 3rd bedroom and viewing is strictly by appointment only via the sole agents, Mann estate agents on 01233 639934.
