Having undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, the property now provides a stylish family life, all set within a sought after Otford location just moments from the village centre and station.

The approach is immediately impressive, with a newly laid driveway and rendered exterior enhancing the attractive façade. An open plan entrance hall with Karndean wood effect flooring and panelled front door sets the tone for the quality found throughout.

The sitting room is a superb principal reception space, wonderfully spacious and centred around a feature open fireplace that creates a natural focal point. Double glazed bi-fold doors open directly onto the south facing garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living and allowing natural light to flood the room throughout the day, making it an ideal setting for both relaxed family evenings and entertaining guests.

SELLER INSIGHT

When we first stepped through the door of 10 Bubblestone Road, it was clear the house had not been touched for more than 25 years. It was tired and dilapidated, but we completely fell in love with the location and, more importantly, the potential. We could instantly see this becoming our ideal home – somewhere calm, light-filled and perfectly suited to modern family life.

We undertook a full renovation from top to bottom, from complete rewiring, plumbing and a new boiler, to beautiful new bathrooms and a luxurious en suite. Outside, we re-rendered the exterior and added a new driveway and patio, enhancing the house’s appearance from the moment you arrive. Inside, the house was redecorated throughout to an immaculate finish and every detail was carefully considered, resulting in a relaxed home that is easy to live in every single day. Upstairs, our favourite space is the master suite –generously sized, with a spacious en suite and a cleverly screened dressing area offering excellent storage. It feels like a private retreat at the end of the day. Downstairs, we reconfigured the layout to create a more open-plan living space in which to cook, eat and spend time with family and friends. This transformation has made the ground floor wonderfully sociable and bright, opening onto the south-facing garden to allow the light to pour in and create an easy flow between indoors and out.

Indeed, this is a home made for entertaining. We have comfortably hosted dinner parties for 12 to 15 people, with everyone gathering in the openplan lounge, kitchen and dining area before spilling out onto the patio in the summer. The patio is zoned for cooking, dining and relaxing around the firepit, and the south-facing garden is a true sun trap all day long, all year round.

The local area has much to offer, too. Everything you need is within walking distance, including local shops and the station, with fast trains to London. It genuinely feels like countryside living, just 30 minutes from the capital – the perfect balance, and one we will miss dearly.”
