Cottenham Close, East Malling, ME19

Set in a cul de sac position in the heart of East Malling village. This modern home, built in the late 80's has lots of features that current families are looking for. With ensuite bathroom to the main bedroom, study to work from home or playroom, good sized garden with conservatory.

Options for those who like open plan living to open up the kitchen and dining room are obvious and take full advantage of the well proportioned West Facing garden to the rear.

Description

Situated towards the end of Cottenham Close in a cul de sac position this family home has great kerb appeal and offers a drive for multiple cars. A covered entrance leads you into a welcoming hallway offering access to all areas including a downstairs cloakroom. To the right of the hallway is a room currently used as a study looking out to the front , ideal for working from home or used as a playroom for young families. To the left is a spacious bright lounge with large window to the front, this is connected via double doors to the dining room that runs across part of the back of the home looking out over the West facing garden via a glazed door and windows to each side. This in turn links into the kitchen with the same orientation to the rear, square in shape with modern fitted units. These two rooms could be opened up to a family who are looking for open plan living and linked in to the garden with potential for further space via an extension, subject to planning agreement of course. A door leads off to the side where a conservatory has been built by the current owners to take in the beautiful garden that they take such good care of. A link into the attached garage from the conservatory makes for useful space and workshop area that has been partitioned off from the front of the garage that is purely used for storage. This could easily be returned to a full garage or further converted to become even more internal space with link into the study area.Upstairs the spacious accommodation continues. Originally a four bedroom house, two rooms have been made into one by opening up a partition wall between them. Both doors still exist and could be returned with little work, replacing the stud wall. The vendor liked the idea of adding these spaces together to meet their needs but our floorplan depicts the rooms separately and measurements for ease of use. The main bedroom has the benefit of an ensuite shower room and looks out to the rear garden. The other double bedrooms get the use of a family bathroom.The rear garden is a delight getting the sun from mid morning and far into the evening as it sets to the rear of the house. Mainly laid to lawn with mature planted borders the current vendors take great pleasure in looking after it. To the front is a another lovely garden with feature tree and drive for off road parking.
