FOUR SEASONS
Four Seasons is one of four individual executive homes built circa 1990. This well presented six bedroom detached house has been thoughtfully reconfigured by the current owner to create a spacious and versatile family home with an interior layout that would appeal to a larger family or for multi-generational accommodation. To the ground floor there is an ample sized entrance hall with cloakroom, the welcoming sitting room with gas fire has double doors opening to the dining room which in turn leads to the garden via the French doors. The family kitchen with breakfast area leads to a separate utility room. The conservatory looks out to the secluded garden & patio areas which are superb for entertaining. The ground floor bedroom and spacious en-suite bathroom provides accommodation for versatile use. The staircase leads to the galleried landing on the first floor accessing a further four double bedrooms plus a sixth bedroom currently used as a dressing room, a recently refurbished family bath/shower room plus spacious en-suite bathroom.
To the front of the property is a drive for off road parking and a double garage which leads to a rear hobby room that would make an ideal home office. To the rear is a secluded private garden with fields beyond, this part of the property makes for a great place to entertain and spend time with the family.
This spacious family home totalling 3071 sq ft must be viewed to appreciate the versatility of the accommodation and the convenient yet semi-rural location, providing desirable space and environment for a family to enjoy for many years.
Seller Insight
We were looking for a property that could accommodate our family requirements and Four Seasons was perfect as it was a really good size and we knew that we could adapt the layout to meet those needs,” says the owner.
“We’ve lived here for over 26 years and it’s worked very well for us. We converted the ground floor space into a self-contained area that’s ideal for multi-generational living, as well as reconfiguring the kitchen layout. We’ve recently refurbished the family bathroom, so it’s brand-new and perfect for busy families.”
“The location is wonderful as we’re located on a quiet road with hardly any passing traffic for most of the day. We’re surrounded by fields and it does feel very rural but everything we need is easily accessible, so it is the best of both worlds here. We have a bus service to Swanley Station, so it’s ideal for commuting, and it’s just a short drive into Dartford town centre and Bluewater. The community centre is a fairly new addition to the village and it has a lovely café and a good choice of groups for all ages.”
“Our fully enclosed garden is not overlooked and is completely private, so it’s perfect for relaxing and get-togethers with friends and family. There’s plenty of space for a marquee on the lawn for special celebrations and the covered patio and brick-built BBQ area can be used all year round. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with established shrubs and we’re bordered by trees and greenery that attracts a range of birds and wildlife, including squirrels, badgers, jays, and woodpeckers. The swing chair under the tree provides a cool shady spot which is particularly lovely in the height of summer.”
“Four Seasons is perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining. The kitchen is the general meeting place and we always seem to end up there with our visitors but I think my favourite spot in the whole house has to be my comfortable reclining chair by the patio doors where I can relax with a cup of tea and take in the views and peace of the garden. I also like to spend time at my sewing machine in my hobby room in the peace and quiet. It’s an adaptable space that could also be used as a home office as it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the main house.”*

Location
Hextable is situated in north west Kent between the towns of Dartford and Swanley and over the last 100 years it has grown from a small hamlet to a semirural village of some 4,400 people and is situated in north west Kent between the towns of Dartford and Swanley. The village is surrounded by green belt land - much of it used by small farms, nurseries and garden centres. It is just 16 miles from Central London and is within the M25, however, Hextable still retains much of its rural character having its own post office, chemist, grocery stores and bakery. The centre is marked by an attractive tree-lined village green with children’s play area. A founder member of the Temperance Movement once lived in Hextable and to this day, historic covenants still mean the village has no public houses! There are road links from the area giving access to A2/M2, A20/M20, M25 and Dartford Tunnel as well as Ebbsfleet International station, airports, the coast and Channel Tunnel.
