Foxhill House
St. Faiths Lane | Bearsted | Maidstone | Kent | ME14 4JN
Seller Insight
It was pure happenstance that the owners discovered this brilliant house. Located within the centre of the stunning village of Bearsted, yet beautifully tucked away. On one of their many walks along this quiet lane, they were intrigued with the ongoing construction of a property hidden behind large hoardings. However, one day they had been removed and, although not yet completed, they were highly impressed with the contemporary, innovative, design of the building. On investigation, they discovered that the present owner of the property was no longer proceeding with its completion and, after negotiation it became the much loved family home of its present owners.
Moving into their new home presented the owners with many challenges. Although the layout of the house was complete, many decisions on floor coverings and worksurfaces needed to be resolved. This gave the owners the opportunity to research and select very special items for their new home. Its luxuriant style combined with an abundance of adaptable, accommodation alongside natural light flooding through the generous sized windows, presents a warm, welcoming, ambience. The large open plan design of the ground floor makes the perfect companiable space for family living. There are so many delightful features in this magical home, one being the balcony in the master bedroom, providing the idyllic spot on warm sunny mornings on which to enjoy tea and maybe relish in a morning sunrise. The enormous well fitted kitchen is spectacular and large enough for a sizeable dining table and relaxing sofas, making this splendid area the hub of family life. As bifold doors from this room, plus those from the living space open out onto a large patio, the house does offer the very best of indoor/outdoor living during the summer months, and perfect when the owners are entertaining.
The bustling village of Bearsted has a strong sense of community together with a good range of amenities, including an excellent primary school, together with an exceptional choice of schools and colleges close by. It is such a pretty village with the village green being the centre of activities. It does have its own railway station providing a regular service into the capital, plus a first class road network. Channel ports are within easy reach, as is the historic city of Canterbury and Leeds Castle which is home to a multitude of events.
This exquisite home has now outgrown the owners’ requirements and it is time for another family to experience the joys of living in such an amazing house in such a convenient quiet location.*
