5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Manor Drive, Hartley, Kent, DA3

GUIDE PRICE £900,000 - £950,000

Cherry Tree House is a superb three storey detached family home built around 2009, tucked away at the top of a private road in Hartley, surrounded by woodland and countryside walks. The property extends to almost 2,500 sq ft including garage space, providing versatile accommodation designed with modern family living in mind.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the space within, leading to a choice of three reception rooms offering flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed family gatherings. The sitting room, with its feature fireplace and doors to the garden, creates a cosy yet bright living space, while the separate dining room offers an elegant setting for family meals. A further reception is currently arranged as a study, but has previously been used as a salon by the current owner, and could easily be used for this purposes again or is ideal for those that require an office for working from home or seeking a quiet retreat. During the day the hub of the house is undoubtedly the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with granite surfaces, a range cooker and integrated appliances, with space for informal dining. There's access to the garden via a separate utility room that provides practicality, keeping laundry and household chores out of sight.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts four generous bedrooms, including a principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. A second double bedroom also enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The second floor reveals a particularly impressive room, running the full depth of the house, with dormer and Velux windows – an ideal fifth bedroom is a versatile space as a TV / games room or teenager's den or playroom for younger children. The layout has been carefully designed with family life in mind, with three bathrooms, two en-suites and a downstairs cloakroom ensuring the morning rush runs smoothly.

Externally, this home continues to impress. The rear garden is secluded and leafy, with a generous lawn and patio area for summer entertaining. To the front, a spacious driveway provides ample parking, leading to the integrated double garage.

Offered with no forward chain, presenting an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious modern family home in a highly desirable semi-rural village. This is a house that offers both space and seclusion, perfectly balancing modern convenience with a countryside setting.

The location is particularly appealing, set in Manor Drive, a quiet and private lane, yet close to all that Hartley offers. The village has excellent day-to-day amenities including shops, post office and two highly regarded primary schools – Hartley Primary Academy and Our Lady of Hartley Catholic Primary – both within easy reach. Secondary education is equally well catered for with nearby Longfield Academy and access to grammar schools in Dartford, Gravesend and Wilmington, with coach services running from the village.
